How to Make Puffed Rice Squares
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter mixture with 9 cups puffed rice cereal. Start with 8 cups and add the remaining cup if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or small saucepan over low heat.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the puffed rice mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once set, cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature (they will harden in the refrigerator).
