A special lunchbox dessert was always something I looked forward to when I was young and with school starting again, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Treats will help kick the school year off on one tasty note.
I can remember when my mom would make a batch of Rice Krispies Treats, I couldn’t wait to unwrap it and enjoy that marshmallow chewy texture and sweet crispy rice with every bite. This recipe has something even more special included in it — peanut butter and chocolate — a combination that most of us crave and have loved for so many years.
Peanut butter and chocolate enhance that inner child, so I think adults will enjoy these as much as the kids do. So, make a big batch and watch them dissappear.
Ingredients
5 1/2 cups rice krispies
50 large marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter + more for pan and fingers
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
(Serves 6)
To Prepare:
1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add butter and peanut butter. Melt on low for 2 minutes.
2. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until they are melted, about 10 minutes.
3. Add Rice Krispies quickly and stir together. Pour into well buttered 8-inch square pan. Press with buttered fingers into pan firmly to make smooth (the batch is hot, so be careful).
4. Add chocolate chips to top and press in firmly. Some may melt slightly. Chill for 15 minutes in refrigerator before cutting into squares.
5. Place on a plate to serve or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
