Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Desserts - Other

All I can say is, Quick, Easy and great tasting Rice Krispie Treats for the peanut butter lover! Traditional marshmallow based rice crispy treats are dry and tasteless compared to these...these peanut butter ones are much more of a confection. Not exactly a picture of healthy eating, but the taste is worth it!

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats Preparation

Line a 13- by 9-inch pan with foil. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Place 5 cups of the Rice Krispies in a large bowl (the largest bowl you have).

Place sugar and corn syrup in a large non-stick saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil for 1 minute, no more. (Boiling time is important, it guarantees the perfect texture.)

Turn off burner and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter until incorporated. Add mixture to the Rice Krispies, stirring to coat. Add the remaining cup of Rice Krispies 1/4-cup at a time, stirring and checking consistency before adding more. You want to have some candy mixture remaining without rice krispies. I usually have about 1/4 cup of Krispies left at the end (only adding about 5 3/4 cups). You do not want them too dry.

Spread the mixture evenly into prepared pan. Let cool before cutting into squares. (Warm knife in hot water to help cut nice, clean squares.)

This is the recipe that brought me to Bigoven. My late step-mother made these for my husband and he loved them. He recently asked for them and all I could remember was that they did NOT have marshmallows and that they did have corn syrup. Thank you so much for making my husband a happy man. I am loving your recipes.

Great recipe!! Using the entire 6 cups of Rice Krispies did not dry the treat for me. The kids loved helping.
