Christmas

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
3/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine
1 dash Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
12 ounces Chocolate Chips -- melted

In a large saucepan, combine butter, corn syrup and peanut butter, and cook over medium heat until butter is melted and ingredients are mixed well.
Remove from heat, and add salt and vanilla. Mix well, then add rice
krispies cereal to mixture and stir until all cereal is coated with mixture.


Pour warm mixture into a wax paper lined 9 x 13 inch pan, and spread, thenlightly pack with buttered hands, to form a flattened crust. Spread melted chocolate chips onto top of crust. You will need to work quickly to roll your yule logs. First, using a sharp knife, cut the crust down the center forming two separate squares of crust. Next, working from the center-out, roll the logs jelly roll style, toward the outer ends of the pan, making two separate yule logs. Tightly wrap logs for slicing later, or slice immediately, and place slices into a sealed container to retain softness.
