Bliss Bars

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups peanut butter
3 cups rice krispies
2½ cups corn flakes
¾ cup unsalted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
2 regular sized vanilla pudding mixes (instant)
milk (as needed)
½ cup butter
2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Over medium heat, heat the corn syrup and granulated sugar; bring to a soft boil, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter (you can use chunky; I use natural chunky). Stir until it is smooth and creamy.

Have both kinds of cereals mixed together in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and mix it until it's well combined. All of the cereal should be coated. Press it into a cake pan, packing it down with the bottom of a spoon:

In a saucepan, melt 3/4 c. butter. Add to this the powdered sugar and vanilla pudding mixes. Stir well; it will be very thick. Slowly add bits of milk until the mixture is the consistency of frosting, mix well. Spread this over the cereal layer in the pan.

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the last portion of butter and chocolate chips. Heat for 1 minute. Stir well. Continue to heat in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth. Spread over the vanilla layer.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until chocolate is set. Cut into bars. (These are extremely THICK bars and can be a real pain to cut!)
