Variation Ideas
Here are some easy peanut butter Rice Krispie treat variations:
- Try chunky peanut butter. If you prefer the extra crunch of chunky peanut butter, go ahead and use it. Just make sure it’s the shelf-stable kind and not natural chunky peanut butter.
- Add more mini marshmallows. After taking the marshmallow mixture off the heat, stir in the peanut butter and cereal, along with whole mini marshmallows. They’ll make little pockets throughout the treats, and the texture will be even more ooey-gooey!
- Chocolate drizzle. Instead of melted peanut butter chips, drizzle these bars with melted chocolate, colored candy melts, or chocolate ganache.
- Use different cereal. In place of regular Rice Krispies, try Cocoa Rice Krispies. Or, make these marshmallow treats with another type of cereal, like Cocoa Puffs, Corn Flakes, or cinnamon toast crunch
