How to Make No Bake Crispy Squares

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (113g) of butter. Stir in 1 cup (227g) creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup (113g) light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Add 3 cups (360g) Rice Krispies cereal (or your favorite crispy cereal) and 1/2 cup (60g) crushed peanuts. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  4. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Quickly transfer the mixture to an 8x8 inch baking dish. Press firmly and evenly to create an even layer.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips with 7 tablespoons (100g) butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter mixture in the baking dish. Spread to an even layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is completely firm. For easiest slicing, remove from the fridge a few minutes before cutting.
