Peanut Butter & Honey Krispie Treats!

Merit is such a great helper in the kitchen. He really likes to add chocolate chips to the batter and to taste test for me too. I will post this recipe because it was delicious!
 



He was pretty pooped after a busy morning cooking and making crafts. Time to relax for a bit.


Peanut Butter & Honey Krispie Treats

 

Yield: 2 dozen bars

Prep Time: 15 minutes

1 cup granulated sugar (You can reduce the sugar if you’d like)
1 cup honey (I prefer to use local honey)
1 cup peanut butter (I use light peanut butter)
6 cups Rice Krispy cereal
1 cup chocolate chips

1. Spray a 13×9-inch pan with Pam spray; set aside. Place sugar and honey into a 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until melted and combined. Add the cereal; stir well until well coated. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. (Tip: I use a small square of wax paper to press these into the pan – easier to press into an even layer and it won’t stick to the wax paper.)

2. Melt the chocolate either over a double boiler or in the microwave at 70% power in 30-second increments. Spread evenly over cereal mixture. Let sit until firm (or refrigerate for a faster setting time).

3. Enjoy!
