I stopped buying chocolate bars long ago, but I was still saddened to
learn that Sweet Marie bars had been discontinued. I have recently
encountered Sweet Marie squares at two local bakeries, so I had to try
them. They were delicious, but not cheap. I Googled for a recipe and
found that they are vert easy to make. It sounds like a weekend project
for me.

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup corn syrup

1 Tbsp butter or margarine

2 cup Rice Krispies

1 cup salted peanuts

1 pkg real chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat peanut butter, sugar, corn syrup and butter over low heat until
mixture starts to boil.

2. Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies and peanuts. Mix well.

3. Press into a greased 8- or 9-inch square pan.

4. Cover with chocolate chips while hot. As chips melt, spread over the top.

5. Let cool and cut into squares before the chocolate gets too hard.

I made them the other day. They were great. I screwed up a little I got
the chocolate chips in the Bulk Barn and had more than I needed. I
figured I could just throw the rest on top. It turned out to be too much
chocolate topping. I also let it cool off too much before slicing, so
that was a bit of a chore. I think they would have been been better if
the nuts were chopped. Tonight be finished off the last two of the
store bought bars and my wife said that the bars I made were better.

I have to say that, despite my errors, it made for a great bar, and they
were very easy to make.

I have never met a treat that had too much chocolate....is there really such a thing?

I made the Sweet Marie recipe today that someone posted not long ago with my
great grandchildren, simple and really good. They took the rest home and
were happy.
