Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

Instructions

1. Melt the butter and peanut butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring until smooth.
2. Add marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows and continue stirring until completely melted and combined.
3. Mix in cereal: Remove from heat. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
4. Press into pan: Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish using a spatula (or your hands lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray).
5. Cool and cut: Let the treats cool for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or add a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch.

Tips & Variations

• Use chunky peanut butter for added crunch
• Add mini chocolate chips (just after mixing for meltiness, or sprinkle on top for texture)
• Make them vegan: Use plant-based butter, vegan marshmallows, and peanut butter with no additives
• Cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters for themed parties or kids’ lunches
