Everyone loves Monster cookies and Rice Crispy Treats. Well, how about the two together as one bar? This bar is what you’d get if a Monster Cookie and a Rice Crispy Treat bumped into each other. This bar is the perfect combination of Rice Crispy cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate and M&M’s.
Making the Bars
In a large pan put in the corn syrup, sugar, and the peanut butter. The peanut butter can be plain or chunky. It’s the cook’s choice. These get cooked together over low heat. Stir them often to prevent scorching.
Once they are mixed together remove the pan from the heat and mix in the Rice Crispy cereal and the oatmeal. Mix well to coat the cereal and oatmeal. Put into a greased 9×13 baking pan pressing them firmly into the pan.
In a microwaveable bowl put the chocolate chips and the peanut butter. Microwave in 30 second increments stirring after each time until the chocolate chips are melted after stirring. Don’t overcook your chocolate chips or the chocolate will seize and not be smooth. Spread on top of the bars.
Sprinkle on the mini M&M chocolate pieces. Lightly press them on to the chocolate topping.
Serving
Let the bars set until the chocolate has set. You can do this on the counter or if you want them ready quicker you can use the refrigerator. Then slice the bars and serve them. These Monster Rice Crispy Bars are great with a glass of milk. For a great kid friendly meal serve Spaghetti and Meatsauce French Bread with these Monster Rice Crispy Bars as a dessert.
