Pour rice cereal into a large bowl.

Heat the syrup with a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat.

When syrup liquifies, add the peanut butter and stir until well combined.

Pour mixture over the cereal and mix well with a wooden spoon.

Let the mixture cool completely, then stir in the chocolate chips.

Spread the mixture evenly into a 9x13 baking dish, pressing with the wooden spoon.

Cool for around an hour before cutting into 12 bars.
