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!
