Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares

Second month doing a recipe for Secret Recipe Club, and this month, I got another fantastic food blog this week: Cook Lisa Cook. I have spent the past couple of days just marveling over all of the wonderful recipes that I want to try, that I have bookmarked a couple to make at a later date.

Summer break will be more busy than I thought.

But even with all of the delicious recipes to choose from, I had very few ingredients in my house. And since I was going away on vacation a couple of days later, I was really reluctant to buy anything.

So I made a wayy more boring version of the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats with Vanilla Coconut Frosting that I found on this “secret recipe” blog. I left out the best part: frosting! Boo for empty cupboards..

But even though I made the recipe so plain that I took the fun out of it, this recipe did teach me some things:

  1. I can make regular Rice Krispie Squares in the microwave, and NOT on the stove like I did here.
  2. Peanut butter makes Rice Krispie Squares 10x better, and oh so chewy delicious. Why have I not done this before??
I think from now on, incorporating peanut butter into my baking should be my #1 priority. I just can’t. Get. Enough! These Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Squares will be happening on repeat in my kitchen for months now.

  3. Peanut butter. Is there anything it can't do? I make a similar recipe with corn syrup instead of marshmallows called Sweet Maries. These would be so good with frosting. Next time!
