Chocolate and Peanut Butter come together to make a traditional rice crispy treat even better!

You really can't go wrong with a chocolate and peanut butter recipe! These were delicious and took less than 15 minutes to make! You can easily make these gluten free too! | www.OurLittleEverything.com

As much as I love chocolate and peanut butter together, I have to admit that Daryl loves it even more than me.  When we first met, I honestly thought he was the type that would never eat sweets.  Boy, was I wrong.   I had him skim my Pinterest account (because he’s thinks Pinterest is only for women ha!) and he pointed to a picture that looked similar to these for me to make for dessert one night.   No problem, except I’ve never made any version of crispy treats before!  My mom used to make us the original recipe of these when we were kids, but I have never made them for myself. I looked at the original recipe and realized they would be easy to make and just as easy to modify.  It took one try to make these super yummy Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Treats!

All you have to do is melt a bag of marshmallows and some butter in a bowl in the microwave, then mix in the peanut butter.  Press the mixture into a baking dish or pan (use wet hands to make it easier!) and crumble some Reese’s Cups all over the top.  Top with melted chocolate and peanut butter chips, cut and serve!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Treats

This recipe can easily be modified to suit gluten-free diets as well.  Just substitute gluten free crispy cereal!

I had a ton of crispy rice cereal left over, and Jaxon is getting bored with eating it for breakfast so I bought another bag of marshmallows and will be making a new crispy treat dessert soon!  As much as I love these Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Treats, I’ve already got a bunch of ideas for new flavors swirling around in my head!  There is one in particular I must attempt to make first!  I’ll share it with you guys as soon as I have it perfected!  I may have a whole arsenal of crispy treats before I know it, but I’ll be prepared for just about every holiday or special event you can think of if a last minute, no-thinking-required kinda dessert is needed!

Do you have a favorite crispy treat recipe?  I’d love to hear it!  Please feel free to share in the comments section below!  Enjoy!

  3. This looks fabulous Lauren! I LOVE peanut butter and am a big fan of using it in new recipes, so will give this a go – and using the leftover cereal that Jaxon won’t eat is genius!
