So I grew up with my mom making Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats. I suppose she made them because they seemed a little more nutritious with some protein in them, rather than just loaded down with butter and marshmallows. Or maybe she just made them because they tasted better, because they really do!
Because I grew up with these, I have never really liked regular rice crispy treats. They taste soo different!
One time I went to make them and only had Cheerios, so I decided to make “Cheerio Treats”, and add a few chocolate chips, and boy were they yummy! (I really have to resist the urge to eat the entire plateful.)
Ingredients
3 Tbs butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 cups cheerios
5 cups marshmallows
1. Melt peanut butter and butter together in a large bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir until combined.
2. Add marshmallows and stir until they are coated with the butters and microwave for about 2 minutes (or until marshmallows are melted), and stir about halfway through.
3. Add Cheerios and stir until well combined
4. Press evenly into a 13x9 pan (no need to grease it because of the peanut butter)
5. Add a few chocolate chips throughout, but not too many because they may overtake the delicious flavor of the bars (but then again I’m not a huge chocolate fan).
