Chocolate Peanut Butter Snacks

This recipe comes from one of the best cooks I know, my grandmother.  I often wonder if this is where my love of cooking and cooking for other people comes from.  She is a wonderfully strong and incredible woman.  When I set out on my own in college, she gave me a collection of all her recipes and gathered recipes from friends, neighbors and relatives.  I love to peruse through them just to find something unique that I have never made before and that is where I came across this recipe. Enjoy!

Original recipe by Adeline Clough
Adapted by Rins Recipes

Ingredients

1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups rice crispies (I used cornflakes and I am sure you could use any of your favorite cereals)

Directions

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper

Combine corn syrup, chocolate chips, and sugar in a medium sauce pan.  Cook over medium heat, stirring consistently until mixture comes to a boil.  Remove from heat.  Stir in the peanut butter till well blended.  Stir in cereal till all is evenly coated.  Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.  Chill.

Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Yield: Approximately 2 dozen cookies

Variations: Add in mini marshmallows and/or nuts at the same time as the cereal.  The mixture can also be placed into a 13x9 pan, patted down, chilled and cut into squares.
