Chocolate Pudding Cereal Squares

Directions

1. 1
   Butter a 9 inch square baking pan.
2. 2
   In a large saucepan, combine the syrup and the dry pudding mix and heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.
3. 3
   Remove from the heat and blend in the peanut butter (I prefer chunky) just until mixed.
4. 4
   Quickly stir in the cereal until evenly coated.
5. 5
   Spread the mixture evenly in the pan with a buttered spoon. Cool until firm, about 10 minutes.
6. 6
   Cut into squares. You can place them in miniature cupcakes liners for a pretty serving look.

   Note: Do not use instant pudding mix.
