1 large Hershey milk chocolate bar, broken into pieces
Instructions
Spray a 9X13 inch pan with cooking spray.
Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins a soft boil, about 3.5 to 4 minutes (it will depend on your stovetop. Just look for the sugar granules to be mostly dissolved).
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter.
Quickly add the crispy rice cereal and stir. Pour into your prepared dish and let cool about 10 minutes.
Combine the chocolate and shortening in a small, microwave-safe bowl and heat, checking and stirring every 20 seconds or so, until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over treats. Let cool before cutting.
