Description
These Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are a no-bake twist on the classic, combining gooey marshmallows, creamy peanut butter, and crisp rice cereal for a soft, chewy, and flavor-packed snack.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows (plus 2 cups extra)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Grease a 9‑inch square baking dish and set it aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and 10 oz of mini marshmallows, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
- Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Fold in the extra 2 cups of mini marshmallows for added gooeyness.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press gently to spread evenly without compacting too much.
- Let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Do not press the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep treats soft.
- Use regular marshmallows (about 40) if mini ones are unavailable.
- For a fun twist, dip in melted chocolate or sprinkle candy or nuts on top.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 6 weeks.
