Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats have so much chocolate and peanut butter flavor and a wonderfully chewy texture.

They are a great kid-friendly snack and adults love them too. They can be cut in small squares to serve a large crowd.

No Marshmallows

This recipe uses corn syrup instead of marshmallows so it’s perfect for people who like to stay away from gelatin-based products (vegans).

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

  1. Measure out all the ingredients before you start the recipe. The recipe goes quickly and you want to have them all ready to go because you need to get the krispie mixture spread in the baking dish before it starts to set up.
  2. Heat corn syrup, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn heat off and stir in peanut butter and salt.
  3. Working quickly, stir in Rice Krispies and immediately transfer to prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. To make chocolate topping, melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth, then pour over rice krispies. Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups. Place them in the refrigerator to get the chocolate to set up.

Equipment Needed

Use a 9×13-inch baking dish or a slightly smaller one. I used one that is a little smaller than 9×13 and it results in thicker Rice Krispie Treats.

Recipe Tip

For extra color, you can sprinkle on some Reese’s Pieces with the chopped peanut butter cups.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
