How to Make Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Cake

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) light corn syrup.
  2. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute, without stirring.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (200g) creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add 6 cups (70g) Rice Krispies cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (60g) margarine. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies mixture and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
  9. Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving for easier slicing.
