We’ve taken our delicious Rice Krispie Treat recipe and added the perfect amount of Peanut Butter to get this yummy, super easy-to-make snack the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Salted Sweet Cream Butter
  • 8 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (creamy)
  • 8 cups Rice Krispie Cereal

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat.
  2. Add the Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter.
  3. Stir the marshmallows so they are completely covered in butter.
  4. On medium-low heat, stir the marshmallows continually until they are completely melted. As soon as the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat.
  5. Add the Peanut Butter to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  6. Add the Rice Krispie Cereal to the peanut butter mixture.
  7. Fold together until the cereal is covered in the peanut butter marshmallow mixture.
  8. Spoon the mixture into a 9×13″ pan that has been lightly greased with butter.
  9. Lightly press the mixture into the pan.  You don’t want to press the mixture down too compactly, just smooth the top with a spatula or butter your fingers and pat down the top. Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool and then cut them into squares.

Notes

Storing/Freezing Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale.  You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them.  They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering.  They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted.  You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
