Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
Only 5 ingredients stand between you and an easy yummy and healthy dessert.
One of my most fondest memories as a teenager was of making rice krispie treats with marshamallows. This version is amazing and definitely satiates my peanut butter and chocolate cravings.
Love that there are only 5 ingredients going into this thing and that it comes together in about 5 minutes. Just gotta wait for it to set in the freezer. Major tip, wait for it to defrost before slicing into it; it will be rock hard.

Simply delicious and I’ll continue to make these! I found the bag of brown rice crisps in the health food section of the grocery store. My sweetener was a combination of raw honey and pure maple syrup. Thank you!! 🙂
Hi Eleanor, Glad you found the ingredients and you liked the snack treats! Thanks so much for the rating!
When you say to use brown rice cereal, do you mean cocoa pebbles? Can you use rice crispys for this recipe?
Hi Ann I mean brown rice Krispies cereal or just use regular Rice Krispies cereal. No Cocoa Pebbles in this recipe! Enjoy!
