Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 2 cups chocolate flavored crispy rice cereal
• ¾ cup almonds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch, square baking pan with heavy-duty foil, folding the foil over the edges of the pan.

Step 2

Put butter in pan and melt in oven. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla; stir to mix.

Step 3

Add cereal and stir with a spoon, then mix with fingers until thoroughly coated. Place waxed paper on top and press down gently but firmly.

Step 4

Bake for 25 minutes until entire surface is bubbly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and let stand for chips to soften.

Step 5

Spread chips, then sprinkle with almonds, pressing gently into chocolate. Let cool until just warm, then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight before cutting.

Step 6

Using foil as a lifter, remove from pan and, without inverting (almond would peel off), peel off foil. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
