Notes
- Rice Chex: Feel free to use a similar cereal, like Corn Chex, instead.
- Peanuts: The salt on the peanuts helps to add some balance to the bars. Salted or lightly salted peanuts will work. You can also use unsalted peanuts and then adjust the amount of salt to taste.
- Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work. Dark brown sugar will give your bars slightly richer flavor.
- Corn syrup: I haven't tried using any substitutes for the corn syrup.
- Peanut butter: I use regular creamy peanut butter, not natural peanut butter.
- Salt: Feel free to add more or less salt depending on how sweet and salty you want the bars to be.
- Baking chocolate: If you want the bars to be sweeter, use milk chocolate. If you'd like bars that aren't as sweet, use dark or bittersweet chocolate.
