Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies Treats
Description
Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies Treats start with combining honey and sugar heated until boiling, then stirring in creamy peanut butter. This mixture coats the rice cereal, which is pressed evenly into a greased pan, forming a chewy base with peanut flavor. The process may use clean, damp fingers to press evenly into corners.
Separately, chocolate and peanut butter morsels are melted together over low heat until smooth. This melted topping is spread over the rice cereal layer. Optional M&M's are sprinkled on top to add color and sweetness. The treat is allowed to cool at room temperature then refrigerated to set the layers firmly.
The bars are served cut into squares and kept chilled if the room temperature is warm to maintain texture. The recipe yields a sweet and chewy dessert combining the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in a layered form.
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey pure
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups peanut butter creamy natural
- 6 cups rice cereal dry, crispy
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 2 cups peanut butter morsels
- M&M's any flavor/colors to suit the occasion, optional, 2/3 cups
Instructions
- Prepare: Spray a 9x13 baking pan with oil and set aside. Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
- Combine: In a large heavy saucepan, combine honey and sugar over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Turn off heat. Immediately add the peanut butter, stirring until well combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture into the bowl of cereal. Stir until fully incorporated. Press mixture evenly into bottom and corners of greased pan. (Tip: Works well to use clean, damp fingers)
- Melt: In the same saucepan (cleaned out,) combine the chocolate morsels and peanut butter morsels, over low heat, and continually stir until smooth and melted.
- Chill and Set: Spread melted chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the crisp rice mixture in pan, smoothing out evenly. Evenly sprinkle on the M&M's. When bars reach room temp, cover and chill until set. Cut into bars and serve. (If your room temp is warm, it's best to keep bars chilled at all times until ready to serve.)
