Photo: Crispy Rice Treats Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
- 10 ounces jumbo marshmallows
- 3/4 cup creamy, common brand peanut butter (recommended: Jif or Skippy)
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies)
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until fully melted and no marshmallow white remains. Stir in the peanut butter until combined. Stir in the cereal until distributed evenly through the marshmallow mixture. Pour out onto a lightly greased rectangular baking dish (9 by 13 inches). Smooth out the top of the treats by moistening your hands with a little water and using the palms of your hand to press down gently. Don't press down too hard or else your treats will be too dense. Set aside to cool.
Once the treats have cooled, melt the chocolate over low heat. Cut the treats into even squares and quickly just shallowly dip the top side of the treats into the chocolate. Turn chocolate side up and set in a baking dish or on a rack until set.

All I have to say is OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY! I was craving some peanut butter and these really hit the spot. Saved me from eating the PB out of the jar! I put the chocolate on half and left the rest plain and both were scrumptious. The plain one really hit the spot for my PB craving. Yum, yum, yummy!!

This a good recipe! Although we wouldn't know because we didn't follow it, it turned out great! Heres our recipe for the smaller portion eater:
6.7 ounces of marshmallows
2.5 tablespoons of butter
4 cups of crushed active lifestyle(cereal
3 drops of red food coloring(for festivity
It was very close and we were happy to use this recipe as a guidline. we just love to experiment! But it was actually very good and great for valentines day!
To clean pans try:
soak all pans and utensils in a huge bin of hot water. After 5 minutes, takes back to sink and rinse off. IT COMES RIGHT OFF! Just a suggestion!
