Scotcheroos

To make scotcheroos, you will need peanut butter, chocolate chips, crispy rice cereal, sugar, and corn syrup. First, heat the sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Then, add the peanut butter and stir until well combined. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the crispy rice cereal. Mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into a greased pan and let it cool. Once the mixture has cooled, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler and spread the melted chocolate over the top of the mixture. Let the chocolate cool and harden before cutting into small squares and serving.
