Rice Krispies Trail Mix Bars
Description
These Rice Krispies Trail Mix Bars start by melting butter and peanut butter together, creating a creamy base for the bars. Marshmallows are then added and stirred until just starting to melt, forming a sticky mixture that will hold the cereal and mix-ins. Rice Krispies cereal, pretzels, raisins, and peanuts are folded into the marshmallow blend, distributing crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty components evenly.
Once combined and beginning to cool, plain M&M's are gently folded in to preserve their shape and color. The mixture is pressed into a greased 9x13 baking pan to set, yielding bars that combine the crispy crunch of cereal, salty pretzels and nuts, chewy raisins, and sweet candy in a handheld treat.
These bars work well as a quick snack or convenient lunchbox addition for both kids and adults.
