      Peanut butter white chocolate marshmallow rice krispies

      I’m a big time peanut butter fan. My two girls share my same obsession with the creamy and peanut-buttery goodness of a spoonful of Jif, and it’s not an uncommon occurrence for us all to be snacking on a spoonful of peanut butter for our afternoon snack each day. Marshmallows come in at a close second with my girls when it comes to a favorite snack. I’ve been known to keep a handful of marshmallows sitting by my stove that I hand off to the girls when they start creeping into the kitchen and playing under my feet while I’m trying to cook. It keeps them occupied for .2 seconds – that is until they come marching back in snooping around for another one.

      With an abundance of marshmallows and peanut butter on hand, it just felt right to whip up a batch of peanut butter rice krispie treats, but these aren’t just your ordinary rice krispie treats. These are made even sweeter with white almond bark, which is very similar to white chocolate that causes these treats to melt right in your mouth after your very first bite. They are divine!

      Have you ever wondered how others are able to get their rice krispie treats to look so clean and pristine? It riddled my brain for years, as my rice krispie treats always looked very, well, homemade. To be clear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! But my heart longed for my White Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treatsto have neater edges and to have a fresh-from-the-bakery look to them. I spent so much time thinking people just had a steadier hand and a clearer eye for precision than I did when cutting their treats, only to realize that’s not the case at all. All of those clean edged confections and brownies are more than likely cut using a brownie pan with a built in slicer – and let me tell you, it’s a game changer!

      Is there a substitute for marshmallows in Rice Crispy Treats?

      Almond Butter – together, almond butter and maple syrup work together to create a sticky mixture that acts as a substitute for marshmallows. This way, you can make rice crispy treats without marshmallows!

      Why do my Rice Krispies get hard?

      High heat is the prime culprit for rock hard rice krispie treats. → Follow this tip: It will take a few more minutes of cook time, but melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat. You'll be rewarded with delicious, soft and chewy treats!

      How do you keep Rice Krispies from drying out?

      If you do cut them and end up having leftovers, you can store them in a large zip-top bag, or a plastic or glass container that seals airtight! Keeping them airtight is the key! I never recommend placing the krispie treats in the refrigerator. It will make them very hard.
