Martha's Granola Bars

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups old-fashioned Quaker Oats (not the instant kind)
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips


In a microwave-safe large bowl, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter and corn syrup. Microwave for a minute, stir the mixture, and microwave another 20 seconds. Stir in the vanilla, oats, and Rice Krispies. Fold in chocolate chips into batter. Press into a 9-in.square pan (sprayed with Pam). Let it cool and cut into bars.

You also might try melting the chocolate chips with the microwave mixture instead of adding them at the end to create more of a chocolate bar.
