    Ingredients

    • 5 cups Cocoa Puffs, slightly crushed
    • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, divided
    • 1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup
    • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
    • 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
    • 3/4 cup heavy cream

    Directions

    1. 1Spray an 8x11" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour Cocoa Puffs into a large bowl. Set aside.
    2. 2In a small, microwave-safe bowl, place 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, 3 tablespoons of butter,1/2 cup of brown sugar, and vanilla. Heat together for 1 minute, then stir. Heat an additional minute, then remove from microwave and stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
    3. 3Pour mixture over Cocoa Puffs, and stir to coat cereal. Transfer Cocoa Puffs into prepared 8x11" baking dish and pat gently with a spatula to even out.
    4. 4Place the remaining peanut butter and butter into a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, stir, then spread the melted peanut butter over the cereal layer. Place pan in fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes, while you prep the final layer.
    5. 5Place the remaining chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-90 seconds, then stir until smooth and creamy. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Return to the fridge and allow bars to set up completely before slicing into servings (about 60-90 minutes.)

    instead of cocoa puffs you can use the reeses puff to bump up the extra peanut butter/ chocolate effect
