Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan; set a side.

Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.

5 /12 – 6 cups rice krispies

Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

1 bag chocolate chips, milk or semi-sweet

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.

Evenly spread over bars.

1/4 cup nuts, chopped (optional)  I used salted cashews, roughly chopped
