It's my turn to bring treats in for work and it's a very busy week for our house, so I was looking for super, super easy snacks to bring that I could either make a few days ahead or could throw together very quickly. This was one of the recipe I decided to make.
Doesn't that look yummy?? The girls and I certainly thought so!! Hopefully the teachers will enjoy it too! This was easy and really good...I'll definitely make this again. My only complaint is that it's kind of hard to cut into squares (although it does cut really cleanly...or at least mine did). I thought I was going to put myself into labor pushing so hard.
1 lb 1.5 oz Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups peanut butter
6 cups Rice Chex® cereal
1/2 to 1 cup powdered sugar
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, 1/2 cup butter and egg until soft dough forms. Press dough in bottom of pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.
In large microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 cup butter on High about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Add peanut butter; mix until well blended.
Place cereal in 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Using your hands, gently break cereal into small pieces. Gently stir cereal into chocolate mixture until cereal is coated. Spread cereal mixture evenly over cookie crust; gently press. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until bars are set. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
