I first tried these yummy snack bars when a friend made them for a church ladies gathering. It was my most favorite dish there, and it quickly became a favorite for my family. I made these to sell at a fundraiser for my young grandson, who has leukemia, and folks were coming back on the second day, wanting to know if there were more Payday Bars. I have the ingredients for this always on hand, and the recipe is so easy and simple, I have it memorized.
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup (smooth or crunchy) peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup nuts, optional
Instructions
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup (smooth or crunchy) peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup nuts, optional
1. In medium saucepan, combine sugar and Karo - boil 1 minute.
2. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla and stir until blended.
3. Pour over rice chex in large bowl and mix well.
4. Press into a 9" X 13" Pam-sprayed dish.
5. Cool & serve.
The longer you boil the sugar and Karo, the stiffer the mixture is.
I make sure it's boiling all over, but don't boil hard for 1 minute
because I like the gooier finished product.
