Ingredients
- 1 1/4 c. peanut butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. light corn syrup
- 1 tsp.vanilla

- 1 c. chocolate chips and/or chopped peanut butter cup candies

- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Measure cereal in a large measuring cup or bowl. Set aside.
- Melt peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar over medium heat only until melted and combined.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir.
