CEREAL KILLER BARS

Steps:

• In a saucepan mix together the margarine, white sugar, peanut butter and corn syrup. Heat to boiling and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and add the Rice Krispies.
• Mix and pat into an 8" square buttered dish. Top with chocolate chips while still warm and smear the chips as they melt, to cover the squares. (Sometimes I will use a hairdryer to speed along the melting process).
• Score these squares with a knife while they are still warm, but do not cut until they are set. ENJOY!
