Ingredients

• 4 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup light corn syrup (or honey for a natural sweetener option)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:
   • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and just starts to bubble. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
2. Combine with Cereal:
   • Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all the cereal is coated evenly.
3. Form the Bars:
   • Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9×13-inch pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
5. Add the Chocolate Topping:
   • Pour the melted chocolate over the Chex mixture in the pan and spread evenly across the top.
6. Set and Slice:
   • Allow the bars to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
