We all grew up probably loving having Kellog’s rice krispies for breakfast. As children we might have considered them useful snacks to nibble on while drinking a glass of milk. Krispies are just so yummy. But have you ever considered making homemade rice krispies for yourself? Discover how to make smooth and sweet peanut butter rice krispie treats with peanut butter!
Crouton Crackerjacks on Youtube shows us how to make these sweet treats. The perfect ingredient for these snacks is peanut butter. Finished with a layer of milk chocolate, these rice krispie treats aren’t your typical sweet treat. Included are suggestions on how to keep them soft and sticky for longer.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt 6 cups rice krispies
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Using an 8″ x 8″ or 9″ x 13″ baking dish, cover the foil with aluminum foil. Apply vegetable oil, butter, or shortening on the foil before cooking. Set aside for later.
Corn syrup, sugar, and water should be heated to a boil in a medium pot. Until the mixture just bubbles around the pan’s edges, stir it continually. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt as soon as you remove the pan from the heat.
Gently fold in the cereal to coat it with the syrup.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and allow to cool.
In a bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, stir the chocolate until it is about half melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate is smooth after it has been removed from the heat. Melt chocolate in the microwave using 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until it is completely melted. Keep swirling until the mixture is smooth.
To make an even coating, spread melted chocolate over the cookies. Remove from heat, let cool, and then slice into pieces. It yields 16 to 24 snacks.
Serve and enjoy every bite!
