SHELBY'S PAYDAY
(tastes similar to the Payday candybar)
10 cups Rice Chex
1 cup peanuts (dry roasted works well)
1 cup sugar
1 cup white Karo syrup
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Have Rice Chex and peanuts measured out stirred together in large bowl. Have peanut butter and vanilla previously measured out and ready as well. Also have ready a large cookie sheet which can be covered with wax paper for less mess.
In medium saucepan, combine sugar and Karo. Over medium to high heat, bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Quickly add peanut butter and the vanilla and stir to mix. Once mixed, quickly pour over the Chex/peanut mix, and stir to coat. Then pour (scoup) onto cookie sheet to fully set. Once set, may be broken into smaller pieces.
I say quickly, because the cooked mix tends to want to set up quickly, and then it becomes difficult to get the Chex/peanut mix coated thoroughly.
