Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats combine creamy peanut butter with crispy Rice Krispies cereal and melted marshmallows for a quick, no-bake, sweet snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows (about 5 cups)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Press the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking pan, using a spatula or wax paper to evenly spread and compact the mixture.
  6. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for longer storage up to a week.
  • Freeze individual squares wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
  • For less sticky treats, press the mixture gently and evenly into the pan using wax paper or greased hands.
  • Crunchy peanut butter can be used instead of creamy for added texture.
  • Use gluten-free Rice Krispies and ingredients for a gluten-free version.
  • To make vegan, use plant-based butter, vegan marshmallows, and nut-free or alternative butters as needed.
