Chewy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

These are chewy and delicious!  They are easy to put together and no need for the oven to be on when it's hot outside.

Chewy No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 1/2 cups salted peanut butter

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 cups Rice Krispies

Butter an 8 x 11.5 glass baking dish. Place the corn syrup and sugars in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the Rice Krispies. Spread into the prepared pan. Cool and slice into squares.

I also make them with less sugar, syrup and peanut butter to make them less sweet and they are still good! I actually can't tell a difference. I would need to have them side by side to taste the difference.

Here are the amounts for less sugar. I also switched the cereal to half Special K- half Rice Krispies.

3/4 cup corn syrup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups Rice Krispies

2 cups Special K cereal
