And if you love these, you’ll love my Sheet Pan Rice Krispies too! They are perfect for parties and easy to transport. The snap, crackle and pop noises that Rice Krispies make in milk is a great childhood memory that comes rushing back when eating my Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats. No, you won’t hear snap, crackly & pop when biting into these treats, but you will taste the sweet, salty and nutty flavors of my delicious, ooey-gooey-chewy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats. I guess you might say that this is somewhat of a copycat recipe, since Kellogg’s started making the Rice Krispie Treats 60 years ago, but by adding in the toasty-nuttiness of the brown butter and peanut butter I’ve turned these classic treats into your next indulgence. If you can’t get enough peanut butter sweets, make sure to check out my Peanut Butter Muffins, Chocolate Dipped Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies, and Peanut Butter Blondies for more inspiration!
Why You Will Love These Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
This is the perfect NO-BAKE treat. They have the perfect ratio of marshmallow to rice krispie and plenty of peanut butter flavor. If you are short on time, but need a quick dessert, these Peanut Better Rice Krispie Treats can be your saving grace! Only requires pantry staple ingredients. Brown butter makes all the difference in these tasty, toasty, peanut buttery treats. Who doesn’t love a good rice krispie?!
Butter: Unsalted butter, and we’re browning it. The nutty brown butter aroma and flavor is what really sets these apart! Mini marshmallows: I love using the mini marshmallows because they melt really well and evenly. Be sure to use fresh marshmallows and not a bag that’s been open for a little. Peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter works really well here. I’ve also tested this recipe with Biscoff Cookie Butter and it’s incredible. Vanilla extract: A little rice krispie secret ingredient that helps tie in all the flavors together. Salt: Just a little salt helps to enhance the overall flavors and compliments these no bake squares. Rice Krispies cereal: of course!
