Chocolate, Caramel Peanut-Butter Rice Krispies Treats Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-416

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
10 ounce bag marshmallows or mini-marshmallows
1 tablespoon vanilla
7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
14 ounce bag unwrapped caramels
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups peanut butter, divided use
12-ounce bag semisweet or dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Butter a 9- bX 13-inch pan and butter the pot and utensils you will be using to melt the marshmallows. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and the marshmallows in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until melted. When completely melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla. Turn off heat and stir in cereal until completely coated; the mixture will be sticky. Pour into buttered pan. Coat your hands with butter and press mixture into the pan firmly. Place in the refrigerator to chill. In another saucepan, place caramels and water over low heat, stirring often as caramels melt until smooth. Add 1 cup of the peanut butter to the caramel and stir until completely mixed. Pour onto the chilled Rice Krispies mixture and spread to the edges. Place pan back in the refrigerator. Over low heat, melt the chocolate in a saucepan, stirring frequently and being careful not to scorch the chocolate. When melted, add in the remaining 1/2 cup of peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over caramel layer, spreading to the edges in an even layer. Place dessert in the refrigerator and allow to set up for approximately 1 hour or until chocolate is firm to the touch. Cut into squares or rectangles once it is firm. Bars are easiest to cut when cold but are best eaten at room temperature or only slightly chilled.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP RICE KRISPIES TREATS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispies Treats Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by TrayH

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 1/3 creamy peanut butter
4 1/4 cup Rice Krispies
1 pinch of salt
4 Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped (or 12 bite-sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and evenly combined. Remove from heat. Quickly add the salt and cereal and stir to combine thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips and stir again. Wait about 1 min and add the chopped candy, quickly folding the mixture together so as to not smash up the candy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons onto the sheet. Let cool (or you can eat them while they are warm and gooey- try and resist them!) and enjoy! I got about 30 Rice Krispy "balls" out of this recipe- it just depends what size you make them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the peanut butter mixture, or it will become too thick and dry.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Chill the treats for at least 30 minutes before cutting them, this will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • If you want a chewier treat, use more peanut butter.
  • If you want a crispier treat, use more Rice Krispies.
  • You can add other ingredients to the treats, such as chocolate chips, marshmallows, or dried fruit.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter krispies treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of these treats that will be enjoyed by everyone.
