Description

These Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are a classic no-bake dessert that combines the sweet, gooey goodness of marshmallows with the rich flavor of peanut butter. Easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or drizzle for topping


Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
  2. Add Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add Cereal: Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until evenly coated.
  5. Press into Pan: Press the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle chocolate chips on top while still warm, or drizzle with melted chocolate once cooled.
  7. Let Set: Let set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the treats in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture or mix in chopped peanuts for a salty-sweet bite.
