PEANUT BUTTER RICE CRISPY TREATS
This is an easy wonderfully tastey treat that is great for all occasions. This is my mother in law's recipe, that my sweet husband had as a child, and my children ask for also. I have also molded these in to little brains on Halloween.

Steps:
- Place sugar, syrup and peanut butter in heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil.
- Place the rice crispies in a large bowl.
- Stir the mixture on to the top of the cereal, til all is covered.
- Place mixture on buttered cookie sheet, use hands covered in butter to spread. (I have tried to use a utensil,and always reverted to the hand spreading method).
- Place in fridge to cool.
- Cut in squares.
Tips:
- Use fresh peanut butter: Fresh peanut butter will give your treats a richer, more flavorful taste. Avoid using peanut butter that has been sitting in your pantry for months.
- Don't overcook the marshmallows: Overcooked marshmallows will make your treats tough and chewy. Cook them only until they are melted and smooth.
- Add the peanut butter at the right time: If you add the peanut butter too early, it will make your treats too oily. Add it after the marshmallows have melted and are starting to cool slightly.
- Use a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to mix all of the ingredients together. A small bowl will make it difficult to stir everything evenly.
- Press the treats firmly into the pan: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter rice crispy treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these treats in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give peanut butter rice crispy treats a try!
