The Christmas season often finds us in the kitchen making treats to deliver to family, friends and neighbors. One of the treats my children used to like to make to share (and to eat!) was Oh Henry Treats.
This is a very easy recipe that you could make with your grandchildren that they could eat or take home with them.
If your grandchildren live far away, you can send a package containing this treat because it can make it through the postal system relatively unscathed.
Or, you could send them the ingredients and recipe so that they could make the treats themselves.
Or, you could make them with your grandchildren and deliver a plate to a neighbor or someone in an assisted living center.
Oh Henry Treats
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
4 cups crispy rice cereal
1 large package milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons margarine
1 cup salted peanuts (optional)
Bring sugar and corn syrup to boil. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir in rice cereal and nuts. Mix well. Press in a 9 X 13 inch pan lightly sprayed with vegetable spray.
Melt butter in the microwave 25 seconds till all melted. Add chocolate chips. Cook on 50 percent power for 15 seconds. Stir chocolate mixture until all of the chocolate chips are melted.
Spread on top of the cereal treat pressed in the pan. Let cool.
Be very careful that you don’t over cook the chips because they will harden and you won’t be able to spread the chocolate.
If you like peanut butter and chocolate, you’ll like these treats!

Oh, don’t wait! They are totally yummy! It is a family standard because everybody loves them so much.
My whole gang will love these. We are having a
Wacky Dinner in July and I am going to make these for that–or sooner if I can’t wait that long.
