The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

recipe tips
For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter.
If you prefer a crunchier texture, opt for crunchy peanut butter.
For easy spreading, lightly grease your spoon or spatula with cooking spray.
Press the morsels gently into the mixture to avoid crushing the puffed rice cereal.
For a festive twist, use colored chocolate chips or sprinkles.
If cutting into shapes with cookie cutters, do so when the mixture is still slightly warm.
For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides.
To prevent sticking, use a sharp knife to cut the treats.
For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding it to the sugar and syrup mixture.
Try adding a pinch of sea salt to the mixture to bring out the flavors.
Let the treats cool completely before cutting to get cleaner slices.
If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands lightly before pressing it into the pan.

It's delicious and if you do not boil the first mixture too long(just bring it to a boil) it will be very easy to cut! Enjoy

I liked this because it wasn't overly sweet tasting despite being a dessert. I also liked it because it didn't use marshmallows which I didn't have on hand.

Great variation on the usual rice krispies bars! I thought everything about the recipe was perfect. My kids loved it too (they even saved me some!)

I rated this recipe a 2 because it was very easy to make but the taste was not at all what I was looking for. Next time I might try milk chocolate pieces because the semi sweet were just not sweet enough. Otherwise I will not make it again.

I have been making this recipe for years - and I love it! To make it easier to cut, pull the karo syrup/sugar mixture off the stove immediately after it starts to boil - then add the peanut butter. The longer the sugar mixture boils, the harder they are to cut.

good flavor...but they're EXTREMELY hard to cut...any ideas on making the krispie layer softer, so it will cut easier?
