Tooth Tearing Peanut Butter Squares

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of light or dark corn syrup
1 cup vegan brown sugar
6-8 cups of vegan crispy brown rice cereal, depending on how chewy you like squares

Directions:

Put corn syrup and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it boils. When its boiling, remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter. When the concoction is smooth and resembling light brown goo, mix in the rice crispies. Press the cereal/ goo mixture into a 9 by 9 pan, allow it to cool

I don't know about the nutritional values for this one. You can use low fat peanut butter, but that's always loaded with sugar. If anyone bugs you about how fattening these are, tell them you're a vegan, you need to get the protein from peanut butter. Enjoy.

Preparation time: 30 min

These were great! I JUST made them and they were quick, simple, and awesome-tasting! I know I will be making these a lot more. I have finally found something to supress my craving for sweets once in a while. I used a store bought brand of Natural CHUNKY peanut butter, and it only contains Peanuts and Salt...that's IT! Wahoo! I also like....3/4 erd the recipe, because I was low on Corn Syrup...I also used LIGHT corn syrup. Thanks for this great recipe

I make a similar square by heating up 3/4 cup of peanut butter with 3/4 cup honey (if you're vegan you can stick with the corn syrup). After its bubbling, pour it over 5 cups of Kashi cereal. Delicious and pretty darn healthy. Enjoy!

For those of us living in Japan, do you have any suggestions on replacing the corn syrup?

Would molasses work in these in place of the corn syrup...?

These were really tasty - a little too sweet but still a super treat! I will for sure make them again next time with less corn syrup and more crunchy peanut butter!

Yogagirl, I've been making these for years and I've found that you can replace up to half the corn syrup with molasses (or a quarter of the syrup with blackstrap). The molasses improves the recipe immensely, IMO. Half dark Karo and half molasses is an ideal balance; using nothing but molasses results in fragile, somewhat bitter bars. I also use Cheerios instead of Rice Krispies to give the bars more body.

The whole pan usually lasts about two, maybe three days in my presence. Who needs dinner when you have peanut butter bars?

I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up cereal that was past its expiration date. These were delicious and quick! My roomie loved them too. Oh and I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla not sure it was needed but I felt compelled to do it.
