Peanutty Squares

By Hklbrries

Tips: Make these tasty bars even more peanutty with crunchy peanut butter! Use a piece of waxed paper coated with cooking spray to easily press the mixture into the pan.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup light corn syrup or honey
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 6 cups Corn Chex or Rice Chex cereal
• 1/2 cup salted cocktail peanuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 9- or 8-inch square pan.

Place corn syrup and sugar in a 3-quart saucepan and heat just to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.

Stir in peanut butter. Gently stir in cereal and peanuts until evenly coated.

Press the mixture firmly into the pan. Let stand for 1 hour.

For squares, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows. Store loosely covered.
