I Love These Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

The rice Krispy treat seems like a relatively simple snack, doesn’t it? After all, you put some marshmallows and rice krispies in a pan, melt them together and once they cool, delicious! Now that I’ve tried this unique twist to rice crispy treats, I may never go back to the original recipe again.

There’s something about the taste of peanut butter cups when you add them to the taste of a rice crispy. It’s difficult to describe, but once you give them to your family, you will be a local hero in your household.
