Ingredients : Power-Packed Peanut Bars (6 Pts) Recipe
2 1/2 cup toasted rice cereal, (Rice Krispies)
2 cup rolled oats, (quick or regular)
3/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1/2 cup firm-packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Grease a 9-inch-square baking pan and set aside. In a large bowl, mix
together rice cereal, oats and peanuts; set aside.
Place peanut butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over
low
heat. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth and just starts to boil.
Stir in vanilla and pour over cereal mixture. Toss gently to mix well.
Transfer to prepared pan and press evenly. Let cool completely, then cut
into 12 bars. They will be approximately 1 1/2-by-4 1/2-inches each.
Wrap
bars individually in plastic wrap or individual sandwich bags before
storing
them in an airtight container. (This keeps them from sticking together as
they can sometimes do in our humid weather.)
