Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats (+Video)

Step 1

Spray an 9"x 13" (or 8"x 8" for thicker bars) casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a 4 quart sauce pan, melt butter on low heat. Do this slowly, you don’t want burned or brown butter here.

Step 3

Once butter has melted, keep heat on low and add mini marshmallows.

Step 4

Once marshmallows begin to soften and melt, add peanut butter.

Step 5

At this point, you will need to constantly stir the mixture so the peanut butter does not burn and the marshmallows can evenly melt (won’t take too long, about 5 minutes or so).

Step 6

Once, mixture is combined and melted, turn off heat and remove pan from stove.

Step 7

Add rice krispy cereal to sauce pan and stir until evenly coated with mixture. This is sticky stuff so do your best to get it all combined.

Step 8

Pour mixture into casserole dish (it will look very loose.) Spray your hand with some nonstick cooking spray and pat down the mixture until firmly compacted.

Step 9

Allow 30-45 minutes for treats to set up.
