Let me just say that these are seriously without a doubt in my mind, a little piece of heaven!! Not. Kidding. You have to make them! Peanut butter cups, chocolate, and marshmallow in one.

They were so fast and easy to make, I promise you won’t regret it.;)

Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treat

Yield: 24 Squares (or cut into smaller bar for a yield of 48)

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

6 Cup Rice Krispies

1 bag (10.5 oz) miniature marshmallows

1/4 cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter

2 cups creamy peanut butter

1 bag (12 oz) miniature peanut butter cups (about 40), quartered

1 cup milk chocolate chips (or 6 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped)

Directions:

1. Butter a 9x13 inch pan and set aside.

2. Measure the cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a medium saucepan over medium heat (or in the microwave for about 3 minutes, but keep watch so the marshmallows don't over puff the sides of the bowl!). Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and mix well so the cereal is coated. Pour into the prepared pan and use a buttered piece of wax paper to press evenly into pan.

3. In the microwave, melt the peanut butter until thin, about 1 minute. Gently stir in the quartered peanut butter cups and then pour over the treats. Using the back of the spoon, gently spread the peanut butter mixture evenly across the top.

4. Again in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate across the top. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set before cutting and serving. Store in an airtight container.
