1 cup (250 mL) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (125 mL) corn syrup
1/2 cup (125 mL) natural peanut butter
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) crispy rice cereal
3 cups (750 mL) miniature marshmallows

In large saucepan, warm chocolate chips with corn syrup over medium-low heat until melted. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal, then marshmallows. Scrape into prepared pan, pressing evenly. Sprinkle with peanuts; press to form firm topping. Drizzle with chocolate. Refrigerate until firm and cold, about 1 hour.
