rice krispie treats


i initially wasn't planning on blogging about this one because it's probably really bad for you, but joe raved about it being the best sweet snack i've ever made. with a review like that, how could i not post it?

these rice krispie treats are very easy, but for some reason mine got really hard after they cooled. next time, as a precaution, i will cut them into squares while they are still warm so they're easier to get apart. about 15 seconds in the microwave was enough to get them soft again. the recipe called for plain rice krispies, but why not enjoy some chocolate with your treat? i used chocolate rice krispies to make these even better.

here's what you need
1 C sugar
1 C peanut butter
1 C corn syrup
6 C rice krispies

here's what to do
mix the sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup in a sauce pan over low heat until they're well combined. increase the heat and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. boil the mixture for 3 minutes. toss the syrupy mixture with the rice krispies and press them into a greased 9x13 pan.

Rats, I never tried one of these (I was too busy eating Easter candy). They looked good--maybe I'll have to try them myself sometime. I like the number of ingredients.
