Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars

I’m obsessive about the flavour mixture of peanut butter and chocolate. I’d take one in all these peanut butter treats over a standard rice krispie deal with any day!

The primary recipe I attempted used mini marshmallows, however the bars have been a bit dry and didn’t have a lot of a peanut butter taste. They have been OK, however not nice.

So I took inspiration from my rice crispy peanut butter balls, which have been household favorites for many years! They begin with a easy syrupy peanut butter combination, and in contrast to melted marshmallows, it stays smooth even after it cools.

The smooth peanut butter and crunchy cereal are the proper stability of texture, and the chocolate topping takes them to a brand new stage. I might not be shocked if they’re your new favourite ” krispy treats”. They certain are mine!
