Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
A no-bake, sweet snack that combines creamy peanut butter, melty marshmallow, and rich chocolate into one easy dessert.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal (Kellogg’s or gluten-free brand)
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (use Kerry Gold for a richer taste)
- 1 1/2 cups Mini marshmallows (or 10 large marshmallows, cut in half)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (natural, no-stir variety)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt (if your peanut butter is unsalted)
- 8 oz Dark chocolate chips (60–70% cacao)
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Add marshmallows and peanut butter, stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract and salt, then fold in Rice Krispies cereal.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared pan, press evenly, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil, dip each bar in melted chocolate.
- Chill bars until chocolate firms up, then serve.
Notes
You can customize by swapping almond butter or adding nuts. For a lighter texture, use half crispy rice and half puffed brown rice cereal. Store in an airtight container.
