Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats With Chocolate

A variation on traditional Rice Krispies Treats, this peanut butter version packs flavor and is still super simple to make just like another chocolatey favorite…Chocolate Oreo Rice Krispie Treats, OR, a peanut buttery favorite, Peanut Butter Balls!

How To Make Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

This is as easy as 1, 2, 3, and as delicious as can be!

Melt the butter and peanut butter together and then melt the marshmallows.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Spread into a foil-lined 9×13″ baking pan and allow to sit for 20 minutes.

Once set you can spread melted chocolate on top, dip each bar in chocolate, or drizzle with chocolate topping!

Can I Substitute Marshmallow Fluff for Marshmallows?

If you don’t have marshmallows and you do have marshmallow fluff, you can definitely use this as a substitute.

Use one jar (7.5 ounces) of marshmallow creme in place of 4 cups of mini marshmallows. So, in this case, you’d need two jars to make a full recipe.

Can Rice Krispies Treats Be Frozen?

Regular, Chocolate Oreo, and Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are all quick and easy to make. But if you’re really looking for a shortcut, you can freeze them for last-minute emergencies!

After making your batch, wait for it to completely cool. Place in an airtight container, using wax paper to separate layers, and freeze for a maximum of 6 weeks.

They take about 15 minutes to thaw at room temperature.

Recipe Tips:

Spray your hand with nonstick spray for easy handling.
Fresh marshmallows always work and taste best.
If you can’t get enough nutty goodness, use peanut butter Rice Krispies in place of plain crispy rice cereal to intensify the deliciousness.
You can also throw in some mini chocolate chips for extra decadence.
