Description
Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are a delightful and easy-to-make snack that combines the crunchiness of Rice Krispies with the creamy flavor of peanut butter and a chocolate topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows, about 5 cups
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 8 oz chocolate chips, about 1 1/3 cups
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan melt the butter, mini marshmallows and peanut butter together over low heat while stirring gently.
- Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies.
- Press the mixture into the pan (lightly spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray to avoid the mixture sticking to your hands).
- Add the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) to a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Microwave for 45-second intervals on medium power, stirring in between each burst.
- Once almost melted, stir until smooth and stir in the vegetable oil.
- Pour the chocolate over the top of the bars and let harden at room temperature (about 2 hours).
- Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, make sure to use gluten-free Rice Krispie cereal.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container for freshness.
- Feel free to add extra ingredients like nuts or dried fruit if desired.
