Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the base:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:

- 3. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until fully coated.
- 5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or wax paper.

- 7. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a firmer texture, refrigerate before cutting. Substitute almond butter if peanut allergies are a concern.
