How to Make Festive Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
I love Christmas treats and when they’re easy-peasy to make, well, all the better! This no bake, basic, 3 ingredient, Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats recipe, adds an extra ingredient to make it festive. Something every child’s face lights up with: Christmas Sprinkles
!
As a child, my sister and I would join our mother to help man a table, at our church’s Christmas Fair. One stall that would sell out quickly was the one that sold bags with homemade Rice Krispies
treats. It’s an age-old treat that everyone loves, so why not serve these up during the holidays too?
While you can use any brand of peanut butter for this recipe, I would recommend sticking to creamy peanut butter
unless the kids like that nutty crunch in your treats. The same goes with your chocolate spread, but consider giving this upcoming small business a try- Lekkco
.
We received a sampling of a few of their Belgian dark chocolate flavors, with no obligations, but I had to give this a try and see what the kids thought.
The big draw being the sugar content. Their favorite chocolate spread has 21 grams of sugar in 2 tbsp while Lekkco has 8 grams in 2 tbsp!
Plus this non GMO spread comes with three additional flavors- Caramel and Sea Salt
, Coconut
and Caribbean Banana
.
I decided to make our Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats with the original Belgian Dark Chocolate Spread
, and allow the treats to do the convincing.
The kids loved it and we polished off the treats in no time.
Try this easy recipe.
It’s like your traditional Rice Krispie treats but more filling (and rich) with the addition of peanut butter. It’s also much healthier with the Lekkco spread
, and minus the butter plus marshmallows!
.
Ooh, take elevate this to the next level with melted chocolate to cover the crispy balls. Oh, oh, and make them festive like these Oreo Cookie Balls.
