Kris Kringles

Here’s a family recipe that I originally posted on a cooking fidonet echo, back in the day. I’m not sure if it was the Cooking echo, or the Home Cooking echo. But like most recipes posted to the echoes in the 90s, this one is all over the web now. They are soooo good. They don’t help my or DH’s diet, but we really like them. Good thing that they don’t last long!!

Yield: 36 servings

1 c Sugar
1 c Light corn syrup
1 1/2 c Peanut butter
6 c Rice krispies

Mix sugar and corn syrup in 3 qt saucepan. Boil over moderate heat, remove. Stir in peanut butter and cereal. Press into greased 13″ x 9″ pan.
Melt choc chips and butterscotch chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. [nowadays, I just melt them in the microwave, 2 mins at a time and stir until they are right] Spread over cereal mix. Chill for five minutes, remove fron pan, and cut.
