How to Make Marshmallow Thingies

Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in 1/2 cup light corn syrup and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
Heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
Remove from heat immediately.
Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Insert marshmallows onto wooden skewers.
Dip each marshmallow into the peanut butter mixture, using a spoon to ensure even coating.
Roll the coated marshmallow in a bowl of Rice Krispies cereal until fully covered.
Gently remove the Marshmallow Thingie from the skewer and place it on wax paper to cool.
