Peanut Butter Bars

Moms all over the country used to make this all the time. Maybe you lost the recipe. Here it is. Still yummy! Still easy to do. A great summertime treat. It is no-bake although you'll need to heat the oven a couple of minutes to melt the topping. I prefer to use Special K, but really, any cornflake works.

Peanut Butter Bars

1/2 cup light Karo syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
1/2 cup peanuts (salted or not)
3 cups cornflakes
1 package chocolate chips (can use less)

Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a boil. Boil one minute. Mix in the peanut butter, peanuts and cornflakes. Pack into greased 9x13 inch pan. Pat with wet hands. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top; then slip into oven two minutes to melt chips. Spread chocolate with rubber spatula and cut into squares.
