Rice crispy treats stuffed with melted peanut butter and dark chocolate? Ok, where were these yesterday when I needed them!? As you can see from the pictures, they may not look that pretty but i’d be lying if all of the recipes I made came out looking perfect on the first try. They taste more perfect than they look – I promise.
Rice crispy treats are one of the easiest desserts to make in my opinion. A little melting and stiring and waaalaaa – a perfect little crispy treat stuffed with dark chocolate and organic creamy peanut butter (I’m really big on organic peanut butter. Nut butter should never have more than 2 ingredients – the nut itself and maybe salt).
A rice crispy treat stuffed with melted chocolate and peanut butter.
- 5 Cups Rice Krispy Cereal Gluten Free options

Rice Krispy
-
Use a typical rice crispy recipe usually found on the box.
-
Melt 4 Tbsp of butter on low-medium heat.
-
Once melted, add the bag of large marshmallows and stir consistently until melted. Add in the vanilla and almond milk.
-
Remove from heat and add the rice crispy cereal.
-
Stir until combined.
-
Pour mixture over wax or parchment paper.
-
Flatten and shape into large rectangle.
-
Melt the chocolate morsels in the microwave. Add in the peanut butter (no need to melt) and stir.
-
Drizzle the mixture over the rice crispy mold.
-
Use wax paper to help roll the treat into a log.
-
Shape as you'd like (the taller it is the more circular the treats will be). I flattened mine a bit to make the treats more narrow.
-
Once molded as you'd like, place in fridge to set (about 20-30 minutes).
-
Remove from fridge and cut into 1 inch pieces.
