3/4 cup of brown sugar
in a large pot stir consistently till you see bubbles starting
immediately remove from heat
fold in 3/4 cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter until smooth and completely mixed (add up to a 1/4 cup more for more peanut goodness)
fold in 3 to 5 cups (try different amounts till you find what you like) of rice crispies
pour into large butter greased spring pan
for chocolate topping (very good)
OPTIONAL
