Sweet Marie Bars
Cookies For All Occasions
Prep time:
10 minutesCooking time:
5 minutes“These easy-to-make crisp peanut butter and chocolate bar cookies will be less expensive-but just as flavorful-if you use a generic peanut butter instead of a name brand. Look for the best bargain.”
Ingredients
Serves 24
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
- Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1
Combine peanut butter, corn syrup and brown sugar in a large skillet. Cook, stirring, over medium heat just until well blended and hot. Remove from heat.
2
Add cereal and peanuts to skillet, stirring quickly to coat with hot peanut butter mixture.
3
Grease a medium baking dish. Press cereal mixture evenly into dish with a buttered wooden spoon.
4
For frosting, melt butter and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Pour frosting over cereal mixture; smooth. Cool. Cut into small bars.

You will save a little time if you use an 8-inch square pan instead of a medium rectangular baking pan-it is easier to press the cereal mixture into a smaller pan. Using a smaller pan will also result in thicker bars.
