How to Make Crunchy Fudge Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, pretzels, and Rice Krispies cereal. Mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Once firm, cut into squares and wrap individually (or let your little ones help!).
