Learn how to make soft and sweet peanut butter rice krispie treats!! Topped with milk chocolate, these are not your ordinary rice krispie treat recipe. Including tips on how to keep them soft and sticky. Enjoy!
Recipe:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
6 cups rice krispies (a.k.a ‘crisp rice cereal’)
2 cups milk chocolate chips (or chocolate of your choice)
Line an 8″ x 8″ baking dish (for thick treats) or a 9″ x 13″ (for thin treats) with foil. Grease foil with vegetable oil, butter or shortening. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine corn syrup, sugar and water. Stir constantly until the mixture JUST bubbles around the edges of the pan. Remove from heat immediately and stir in peanut butter, vanilla and salt.
Pour over cereal in a large bowl and fold gently to coat the cereal.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan and let cool.
While mixture is cooling, melt chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water while stirring constantly until half way melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until chocolate is smooth. (alternatively melt chocolate in microwave by nuking in 30 second intervals, stirring between each just until chocolate is melted. Continue stirring until smooth).
Pour melted chocolate over treats and spread out to a uniform layer. Let cool and cut into pieces. Makes 16-24 treats. Enjoy!

This recipe was one my stepmother made back when I was a kid over 50 years ago. I was never able to replicate it. Too hard and crunchy. Never occurred to me to add a bit of water to maintain that chewie factor. Ordered all the ingredients and cannot wait to try your version of this fab recipe. Let's eat!
I made this for Christmas but I made them into 1" ball's. It's the same recipe I had. When rolling them to keep from sticking just dampened your finger with a tad of water.
OMG yum
Never heard of corn syrup in rice crispy squares? My mother always made them with melted marshmallows and butter and they were great.
This recipe is a gem !
Thanks so much. I have NEVER had such a simple put-together success before .. Love it
I've made these before but I did use equal amounts of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips melted for topping.
Going to make these for a bake sale. I'm sure they'll go fast!!!
mm smakówa……..
Ohhh those look so delicious 👍❤
I did a twist on these with a single box individual serving rice crispy cereal. I’m awaiting the results rn got it in the freezer my recipe goes as follows:
-1 single serving box rice crispy cereal
-3 table spoons peanut butter
-2 table spoons Nestle chocolate milk powder(optional)
-1 to 3 table spoons honey(optional)
-1/4 cup eggnog/milk(optional)
Ina bowl add your peanut butter and pop in microwave for 1 minute. Before doing this I add a spoon of neslte chocolate milk powder and a little milk few table spoons and mix it up.
After the peanut butter is done heating up I then add my cereal to the peanut buttah and mix away, it’s best to do it while warm as it’s easier to mix and once I got it all incorporated I add it to a small rectangular Tupperware lined with foil, (i know I am speaking like I’ve done this before I assure u I’m still waiting for it to be done setting in the feeezer)
Once I had it spread out I took a cup, added the milk and a little egg nog followed with a few table spoons of honey and the choco powder and made the chocolate topping and added it tk the top and covered and put in my feeeezer. Now I’m going to check it and comment for the results I’ll let u know how it came out
I can’t wait to make them drooling yummy
Can’t wait to eat these! Their in the fridge right now!
I will definitely use the tbls of water!! I almost always overcook it! Thank you!
Can't wait to make this.. during my work lunch I don't have much time or money to eat properly, lol but I have been buying this rice Krispy peanut butter bar with chocolate, and decided to search up a recipe so I can make my own instead. Came across this video and loved it! 😍
You can use aluminum pans as well
I found that the amount of cereal was way too much. I’ll try again using less.
Yummy
I use non stick spray for my pan
I would use baking paper rather than tin foil also I would use the back of dessert spoon rather than your fingers but even so they look great😊
I think its sacreligious to make these without marshmellos. Other wise they look good
