  1. We have made this, but prefer brown sugar over white sugar. We have also substituted honey for the corn syrup.
     
  2. I had made these candy bars for years but after my children were grown I got away from it. My recipe is a little different but I'm sure it has the same great taste. I make mine in a bowl in the microwave. I just bring a cup of each sugar and corn syrup to a boil..remove from heat and stir in a cup of peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla and a cup of peanuts. Mix it with 6 cups of rice chex and put it in a 9 X 13 pan and let cool. Thank you for bringing this memory back...I think I may make some for my granddaughters for Easter. :))

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The artist FKA: CindyZ <br> <br>My family and I live in a small town in mid-Michigan, where the summers are short and the winters are cold and long. I enjoy camping, swimming, biking, curling up with a good book, scrounging around garage sales (I'm forever the bargain hunter, hubby says I'm way too Dutch), gardening, watching Nascar (go Matt!) on Sundays and spending time with family, especially listening to stories from the older generations. I'm an RN, and am fortunate enough to be able to work only part-time so I can spend more time with my kids, ages 14, 9, and 6, and my sweet pug Lou, who is a year old. Two pet peeves worth mentioning are people who smack their gum and ignorance.
