Sweet Marie Bars
These delicious, easy no-bake Sweet Marie Bars combine the delicious flavour of caramel and peanut butter in a chewy chocolate topped treat! Use regular krispie cereal all year round or use the holiday version for Christmas!
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 cup golden corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 4 cups Holiday Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper or non-stick spray and set aside.
- Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter in a saucepan. Melt over medium heat, stirring often until smooth and creamy. DO NOT BOIL.
- Transfer melted mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the peanuts and Rice Krispies and gently fold in with a spatula until well combined.
- Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan and set aside.
- In a double boiler combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips and heat until melted. Spread over the Krispie mixture in the pan to cover completely.
- Refrigerate until chocolate topping hardens. Remove from fridge about 20 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife into either 48 generous sized squares. Or, you can cut them small and yield about 70
