Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Chex. Stir until the cereal is well coated.
  4. Press the Chex mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them well-wrapped. Adding chopped nuts or pretzels can enhance the crunch.
