A peanut butter lover’s version of a classic treat…Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect for your next get together, as an afternoon snack or just because!
I feel like you can never have enough RKT versions to fall back on when you are eluded by what to make as a dessert. I mean, you really can’t go wrong by starting with cereal and marshmallows and adding chocolate and peanut butter. The fact that kids and adults love them and there’s no baking required is just a bonus. I love how the mini peanut butter cups absolutely perfect the chocolate peanut butter ratio of these bars. And don’t offer these to a crowd before you’ve secretly hid one for yourself…they go super fast, just sayin’ 😉

Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons BUTTER
- 9 cups MINI MARSHMALLOWS
- 1/2 cup CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER
- 4 1/2 cups RICE KRISPIES CEREAL
- 4 1/2 cups COCOA KRISPIES CEREAL
- 8 oz. bag MINI REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with foil. Grease well using butter for best results.
- In a large microwave safe bowl (or a saucepan for the stove), melt butter. Add marshmallows to bowl, heat at 45 second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Meanwhile, mix together cereals in a large bowl.
- Stir peanut butter into melted marshmallows. Pour over cereal and mix well. Add in mini peanut butter cup candies and stir again.
- Transfer this mixture to prepared pan. Take a turner spatula and butter the back of the flat side well. Use it to press the bars firmly into the pan. Set aside to cool and set up before cutting into bars.
