How to Make Extreme Cereal Bar Square

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup peanut butter, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup butter. Stir constantly until completely smooth and melted.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 4 cups of your favorite cereal (like Rice Krispies, Chex, or a mix!) and 1 cup salted peanuts.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the cereal mixture and spread to cover completely.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the chocolate is completely firm. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  7. Cut into squares and enjoy!
