Remember Rice Krispies bars? These are amped up with peanut butter, making them even more addictive. Yes, there's corn syrup, just this once.

| 1 cup light corn syrup | 1 1/2 cups salted peanut butter | |
| 1/2 cup granulated sugar | 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract | |
| 1/2 cup light brown sugar | 4 cups Rice Krispies |
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
Place the corn syrup and sugars in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Stir in the peanut butter and mix well to combine. Quickly stir in the vanilla and Rice Krispies, then spread into the lined baking pan.
Cool and slice into squares.
