Ingredients

  • 3 ½ oz semi-sweet chocolate divided use or a heaping half cup of chocolate chips
  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter plus 1 stick 4 oz butter
  • 1 ½ cups Rice Krispy Cereal
  • 8 oz peanut butter
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup to 1 ½ cups powdered sugar to taste

Instructions

  • Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick foil or regular foil. If using regular foil, spray it with cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 ½ oz chocolate (or ¼ cup chips) with ½ tablespoon of the butter. Stir in ½ cup of the peanut butter. When well mixed, stir in 1 cup cereal. Spread in bottom of pan and chill for 15 minutes or until firm.
  • Clean out saucepan and set over medium heat. Add 1 stick (4 oz) of butter and salt. Cook over medium until melted, then stir in remaining ½ cup of peanut butter. When smooth, stir in powdered sugar to taste. Pour a little less than half of the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate crispy mixture. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cereal over peanut butter mixture, pressing it gently into peanut butter mixture.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining 2 oz chocolate. Add melted chocolate to peanut butter mixture and carefully spread over Rice Krispies. This part is a little tricky, as the Rice Krispies want to go with the chocolate peanut butter mixture.
  • Chill until set. Lift from pan and cut with a big knife.
  • Makes 8-12, depending on how you cut
