Crispy Pretzel Bars

LOVE 'em.

That's all I have to say about these treats.

Mom came up and played with the Little Pumpkin so I could try some new recipes. I decided to try this one simply because I had all of the ingredients in my cupboard. We sampled it. And sampled it some more. And some more.

Now, I'll have to make a second batch for Christmas Eve Dinner.

Crispy Pretzel Bars

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup chocolate chips

Coat a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high until sugar is dissolved (it was approx 2 minutes in my microwave). Stir after each minute.

While sugar is melting, grab a large bowl and dump the cereal, pretzels and chocolate chips in it. Give the bowl a quick shake to mix 'em up. Set aside.

When the sugar is melted, stir the peanut butter into the sugar mix until blended.

Add the sugar mixture to the the cereal, pretzels and chocolate chips. Stir until coated. Be careful when sampling the goodies as this is still kinda warm!

Press into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into bars (makes approx 60 - or 10 if you're part of my family).
