Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium sauce pan combine the sugar, Karo syrup, and peanut butter. Stir over medium heat until combined and smooth. Remove from heat.
Pour mixture over the cereal in the mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the chocolate chips and stir again. Let cool for a minute and then fold in the Reese's chunks. They will melt a little.

Yes, chunky peanut butter works well and adds extra peanut texture throughout the treats.
The peanut butter mixture is still warm when you fold in the chopped Reese's cups, causing them to soften and partially melt, creating pockets of extra peanut butter flavor.
Light corn syrup works as a direct substitute. Honey will alter the flavor and texture slightly, making treats less crispy, so it's not recommended.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They're best enjoyed within the first 2-3 days when texture is most crispy.
