These Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats are my new go-to treat forever and always.
Rice Crispy Treats are one of my all-time favorite snacks ever! And add creamy peanut butter and chocolate to the mix? Forget about it. If my self-control is out of whack for whatever reason, well, see ya later to the entire pan.
Can these be modified to be gluten-free?
Most definitely. Make sure to read your labels and buy the appropriate rice Krispy cereal of choice. Kelloggs makes a new gluten-free rice Krispy cereal and One Degree Organics makes a really delicious brown rice cereal as well!
These Healthy-ish Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats are one million percent to die for. Made in ONE [very large] bowl and then topped with melty chocolate peanut butter swirl and fancy maldon sea salt, because um yes- that’s always a good decision. One crunchy bite and you’ll be in.
