"Remember Rice Krispies Treats? Moms, grandmas, and aunts all over the country made them and barely got them out of the pan before kids inhaled them. These are amped up with peanut butter, making them even more addictive. For a young boy eager to work in the kitchen with you, this recipe is a good place to start. Yes, there's corn syrup, just this once."
