I’m breaking the rules today. I am taking a recipe that my family has made for years and years and I’m putting my own spin on it. Cue eye rolls from my family members.
The fact is, I have a lot of trouble following a recipe as written. Since I cook, bake and create recipes frequently am I always thinking about how a recipe can be improved. Some classics shouldn’t be messed with. I can appreciate that, but sometimes a few switch-ups can take a recipe from good to great.

- Line an 8.5x11 or 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil (if using foil, lightly grease it). Set aside.
- Place the corn syrup and sugars in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, remove from the heat and immediately stir in peanut butter and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. Quickly stir in Rice Krispies. Spread into the prepared baking pan. I lightly grease my palm and press the mixture into a flat layer
