Mandy’s Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Easy
Mandy’s Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats While I do appreciate and enjoy chocolate treats, what I really love are other flavours like vanilla, caramel and anything with nuts. So, Mars Bar treats are all good and well, but give me a classic Rice Krispie Treat any day! That is, until I made these. Your standard puffed rice treats, but laced with delicious peanut butter, and lots of it so there’s no mistaking it’s there, with a drizzling of milk chocolate. And to top it off, crushed peanuts, or if you can find them, Reece’s Pieces! I would recommend cutting these treats into smaller pieces as there’s a lot of peanut butter in them, but don’t worry, a small square is all you need!

Ingredients
- 45g butter
- 350g mini marshmallows
- 350g smooth peanut butter
- 180g puffed rice
- 100g milk chocolate
- Handful of peanuts, roughly chopped
- Or, Reece’s Pieces candy
TO DECORATE:
Method
- 1. Line a 20 or 23cm square tin with parchment paper, set aside.
- 2. Add butter and marshmallows into a large pot and heat gently over a medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows have melted.
- 3. Add the peanut butter and stir until well combined.
- 4. Remove from heat and add the puffed rice. Stir well with a sturdy spoon until all of the puffed rice is coated.
- 5. Tip out into the lined tin, then use buttered hands to press mixture down evenly in the tin. Leave for about 10 minutes to cool completely.
- 6. Melt chocolate in a heat proof bowl set over gently steaming water, or, melt in the microwave in short 5-10 second bursts.
- 7. Drizzle chocolate over cooled treats, then sprinkle with roughly chopped peanuts or Reece’s Pieces while chocolate. Leave to sit until chocolate has set.
- 8. Remove from tin and use a large sharp knife to cut into squares, depending if you cut into 4 or 5 rows, you’ll get 16 or 25 pieces.
- 9. Will keep for 2 days at room temperature in a sealed container, but as these make a lot of treats, I would recommend freezing and removing treats as you like. Keep in sealed freezer bags for up to 6 weeks. Leave at room temp for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
