Ingredients

For the krispie treats:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows, divided 16 ounce
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 5 cups crispy rice cereal
For the topping:
  • 1 bag peanut butter morsels, melted 10 ounce
  • ½ cup Reese's Pieces
  • ½ cup dry roasted peanuts salted
  • ½ cup candy corn

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 9inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add all but 1 cup of mini marshmallows and turn to low heat, stirring constantly until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring quickly. Add cereal and stir until combined. Fold in remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  3. Pour krispie treats into baking dish. Using the butter wrapper (or lightly buttered fingers), gently press the krispies into the pan. DO NOT OVER PRESS, this will lead to dry treats.
  4. Top the treats with the melted peanut butter morsels. Sprinkle with candy, peanuts and candy corn. Press those into the melted peanut butter. Cover with foil. Allow to set, about 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from pan, remove parchment paper, and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. ENJOY.

Notes

  • There are a few common mistakes that can lead to hard, tough Rice Krispie Treats. Make sure to use fresh cereal and marshmallows and keep the heat on low when adding the marshmallows to the butter.Most importantly, do NOT press too too hard when spreading the treat mixture in the pan! The harder you press, the harder the bars will be.
  • Do rice krispie treats need to be refrigerated? Big NO! Chilling rice crispy treats will make them hard.
  • Can you freeze rice krispy treats? Another no. Some say they have good results with freezing rice krispie treats but I find freezing makes them taste stale and less than appealing.
