Bring to a boil:

3/4 c dark Karo syrup

(NOTE: As much as I don’t like to use corn syrup in my recipes, there are some consistency you cannot get without it, truly, it is the HIGH fructose corn syrup that is a high FODMAP and I find a small amount of regular corn syrup to be overall tolerated pretty well)

3/4 c chunky peanut butter

Spread on cooled crust.

Frosting:

6 Tbsp milk

6 Tbsp margarine or butter

1 1/2 c sugar

Boil for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Put pan in sink of cold water and stir until melted and ready to spread.

I had to save this because it is in my mom’s handwriting-and was obviously used a few times!!!

These were sweet, but a really fun and tasty way to share one of my mom’s favs!:)
