How to Make Honey Peanut Squares

  1. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup honey (or light corn syrup). Heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Add 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or similar crispy cereal) and ½ cup salted peanuts. Stir gently until the cereal and peanuts are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x9 inch pan. Using the back of a greased spoon or spatula, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
  7. Allow the squares to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  8. Once firm, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
