Even after making all these snacks and treats for my husband, he is still ravenous when he comes home from being on campus all day. He has a tremendous amount of weight to carry around because of the books in his bag, has to walk 6 blocks to campus in the cold, and doesn't even have enough room in his bag for his water bottle, much less a full lunch. I'm all ears for anyone with ideas for snacks that take up very little room and are filling!
He loves Rice Krispie bars so I decided to make him some, but wanted something with a little more sustenance to get him through the day. Peanut butter works, right? I figured a little more protein couldn't hurt.
Grease a 8x8 inch pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray. Measure out the rice krispies in a medium-large bowl. Set both of these aside.
Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter.
Quickly transfer to the bowl of rice krispies and stir well.
Firmly press mixture into the prepared pan and let cool before cutting.
