Oh Henry Bars

1 cup of sugar
1 cup of karo syrup
1 cup of peanut butter
4 to 6 cup of rice Krispies
1 12 oz bag of chocolate chips

Boil the syrup and peanut butter together until sugar is dissolved or for about 1 min. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Gradually stir in the Rice Krispies. Press into a buttered 9X13 inch pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top . When melted, spread the chips over the top of mixture

Peanut Butter Bars

¾ c. margarine
¾ c. brown sugar
¾ c. sugar
2 eggs
¾ c. peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ c. flour
¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt

Mix margarine, sugars, and eggs. Beat well. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients.Spread batter in greased 9x13 pan.Bake @ 350 for 15-20 minutes. Edges will just start to lightly brown. Let cool completely.

Filling:
¾ c. peanut butter
½ c. margarine
2 ½ c. powdered sugar

Mix all well. Add milk until filling is spreadable (about ¼ c.)Spread on cooled bars.

Topping:
Melt 1 package milk chocolate chips. Spread over filling. Let sit several hours or overnight for easier cutting. This also allows the chocolate to set up. Don’t refrigerate—chocolate will be too hard to cut.

Everytime someone asks me to bring a dessert--this is the one they want me to bring. I only make these to take somewhere, because I will eat the whole pan if they are sitting at my house.
