Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats
A nostalgic and easy recipe combining peanut butter and marshmallows for a delectable treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal The classic crispy base.
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter For that rich, nutty flavor (feel free to use crunchy if you prefer a bit of texture).
- 1 cup mini marshmallows These give our treats that delightful chewiness.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter To bind everything beautifully and add richness.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar Adds the right hint of sweetness for balance.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies, ensuring every piece is coated.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly.
- Allow the treats to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a pinch of cinnamon during preparation. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
