Peanutty Cereal Bars

These bars are good.  Too good in fact.  They may call you from your pantry and tell you to eat them. They are that kind of good.

My kids love them. 

I will say it would be very fun and delicious to put some salty sunflower seeds in these.  The salty sugar thing would amp them up even more.  Wow!

Peanutty Cereal Bars

6 cups of Rice Chex

1-1/2 cups of salted peanuts

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of light corn syrup

1 cup of peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla.

Combine cereal, nuts and set aside.  In a microwave bowl combine sugar and corn syrup.  Microwave uncovered on high for 30-60 seconds.  Stir and cook 4-5 minutes longer or until sugar is dissolved.  Stir in PB and vanilla until smooth. Pour sugar mixture over cereal and nuts and stir to coat.  Press into greased 9x 13 pan.  Put in the refrigerator or a cool place and chill until firm.
