Babe Ruth Bars

Inspiration:
Leftover cornflakes and this recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup white corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 6 cups cornflakes cereal
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup peanuts
Instructions:
  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, corn syrup, brown sugar and white sugar. Cook stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and quickly mix in the cornflakes, chocolate chips and peanuts until evenly coated.
  2. Press the entire mixture gently into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes: So, they don't look that great, but they taste really good! I read later that it's better to save the chocolate chips and sprinkle them on at the end, rather than mix them in the hot mixture (where they melt). I will definitely make these again, but I wouldn't take them to a party or serve them to guests unless I work on the presentation.
