For those who do not want to take your DT#19 to the grocery store, here's the Igor Bars recipe (I typed it into my PDA so I don't have to take my comic book to the grocery store): Igor Bars Serves 1-8 (one gamer or 8 normals) Ok, the pan-style cookie base is the easy part. Just make sure the pan is well-greased and that it's lined with wax paper (I recommend parchment -L.) Any chocolate chip bag has the recipe on it. You just need to make sure that they're chewy and not too dry when they're done. (I'm going to buy pre-fab cookie dough that comes in a tube. -L.) While they're cooling, you start preparing the caramel. you'll need about a hundred chunks and a double boiler. Remember to add three teaspoons of milk to them as they melt, or they'll crystallize when they cool. But before you pour the caramel over the pan-style cookie base scatter a cup and a half of peanuts over it. The caramel acts as the glue holding the cookie base to the rice krispie treat topping. Use a full recipe (about six cups of rice krispies). And press onto the caramel. Then melt 16 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate using the double boiler, and spoon over the bars. Top this with peanut M&Ms, toffee, or anything else you think is excessive. Let cool for half an hour, slice, and you get Igor Bars. Rice Krispie Treats recipe:
melt margarine and marshmallows over low heat til completely melted
Lori's Note For those who have a microwave and no double boiler, I recommend using the former instead of the latter. Just put whatever you're melting into a microwave-safe bowl, put the microwave on half power (remember, the manual will tell you how to do this), and melt for 30-60 seconds at a time. Take the bowl out and stir between melting sessions. Repeat until you have the desired consistency.
