Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare your canvas: Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (1 minute)

02

Step

Create the base: In a large saucepan, combine the peanut butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step

Incorporate crunch: Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and chopped peanuts until evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Shape and set: Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Chocolate blanket: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot peanut butter mixture. Allow the chocolate chips to melt slightly from the residual heat. (2-3 minutes)

06

Step

Spread and smooth: Once the chocolate is softened, gently spread it over the top of the bars in an even layer. (1 minute)

07

Step

Chill and solidify: Refrigerate the bars until the peanut butter mixture is firm and the chocolate has set, approximately 1 hour.

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
Toast the peanuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
If you don't have brown sugar, granulated sugar can be used.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the top of the chocolate layer for a salty-sweet contrast.

    A little too sweet for my taste, I might reduce the brown sugar next time.
