1 cup(s) dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup(s) light corn syrup
2 cup(s) mini marshmallows
3/4 cup(s) creamy natural unsweetened peanut butter, well stirred
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
4 cup(s) thin pretzel sticks, roughly chopped
4 cup(s) unsweetened puffed wheat cereal
2 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolated, melted
1/2 teaspoon(s) smoked salt (or additional kosher salt)

Steps:

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
In a large saucepan set over med-high heat, combine the sugar with the corn syrup, then bring the mixture to a boil. Turn off the hear, stir in the marshmallows until about half of them are melted, then stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Add the vanilla and salt. Mix in the pretzels and puffed wheat until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and, using lightly greased hands, pat it firmly into the dish. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with smoked salt (or the additional kosher salt). Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Once firm, slice into small bars with a hot, wet knife, then serve and enjoy.
