These 7 ingredient peanut butter rice krispie treats are so addictive! They are sweet, salty, crunchy and topped with a layer of decadent chocolate.
These sweet, salty, crunchy treats were sort of a happy accident.
I was cleaning out our pantry the other day and happened to find a bag of rice krispies cereal. I really wanted the kids to either eat them or use them right away so that I didn’t have to find a tupperware container to put them in. While I was clearing off the top shelf I also found a bag of mini marshmallows nearing their expiration date.
You see where this is going, right?
I so badly wanted to whip up a batch of my favorite gooey rice krispie treats, however, since I can’t have dairy right now, that wasn’t really an option. Yes, you can swap out the butter for coconut oil (just like I did in this recipe), but without additional ingredients they just don’t taste the same. They need butter, trust me.
So I grabbed some peanut butter instead along with vanilla extract, sea salt and chocolate and go to work. It took all of 15 minutes for me to make these bars… and only 7 ingredients!
Pretty impressive if you ask me.
While these don’t require any baking, they do require a little heat. You can melt the peanut butter marshmallow mixture and the chocolate on the stovetop or in the microwave, whichever you prefer.
