Directions

1

Lightly spray one 18x26-inch full sheet pan with vegetable cooking spray. Place pan extender on prepared pan. Measure cereal in large mixing bowl. Set aside.

2

Prepare CRUNCH BAR BASE: Combine REESE'S Peanut Butter Sauce, corn syrup, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal, mixing until well coated. Immediately, evenly, and firmly press mixture into prepared pan, using spatula or wax paper. Set aside.

Prepare CHOCOLATE TOPPING: Place HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips and REESE'S Peanut Butter Sauce in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 2 minutes; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in pretzel pieces. Immediately pour over crunch bar base, packing it down with spatula. Immediately sprinkle Chopped REESE'S TAKE5 Candy Bars over surface, pressing down firmly. Cool completely in pan.
