These bars are named for the Canadian chocolate bar which they so closely resemble. Here's a link to more info: http://www.villagevoice.com/restaurants/canadian-candy-11-sweets-you-cant-get-this-side-of-the-border-6510248
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup peanuts
- 2 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 package of chocolate chips
Instructions:
Place the first 4 ingredients into a medium sized pot and melt together while stirring over medium low heat.(Remember, your pot will need to be large enough to accommodate the addition of the nuts and cereal). Allow the mixture to gently bubble then remove it from the heat and stir in the peanuts and Rice Krispies until well combined. Press into a greased 8 or 9 inch square pan. Pour the chocolate chips on to the still-hot peanut layer, wait until the chips soften, then spread the chocolate evenly. I used about three-quarters of a 350 gram bag of chocolate chips; chocolate chip bag sizes vary a lot in my experience depending on the brand. You don't need mounds of chocolate chips(they won't melt); just enough to form a single meltable layer. Let the whole thing cool then cut into bars.
