Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup or honey
- 1 cup sugar
- 5-6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M’s (or more, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the peanut butter, light corn syrup (or honey), and sugar. Heat over medium heat while stirring continuously until the mixture just begins to bubble. This ensures everything is melted and well combined. Remove from heat immediately.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture, ensuring the treats will stick together well.
- Shape the Treats: Transfer the sticky mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture into clusters or shape them into bars or squares as preferred while still warm and pliable.
- Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle mini chocolate chips and M&M’s over the pressed treats. Gently press them in lightly so they adhere but maintain their texture and appearance.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature until they become firm and set completely. Once set, separate into individual servings and enjoy your delicious peanut butter Rice Krispie treats!
Notes
- Use honey as a natural alternative to corn syrup if preferred.
- Adjust the quantity of Rice Krispies cereal between 5 to 6 cups depending on desired treat thickness and chewiness.
- Press treats firmly but avoid compacting too much to keep a light, crispy texture.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days for best freshness.
- Optionally, add nuts or other candies to customize the treats further.
