When I make these, I melt the peanut butter and butter together before adding the marshmallows. After pressing them into the pan, I sprinkle about 1/4 c each chocolate and butterscotch chips over the treats, then put the pan into a warm oven for a few minutes to help soften the chips. Swirl the melted chips together to add another dimensions of yumminess to the treats.

DS & DD love these. I made them the microwave way so they were ready in under 10 minutes: in a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, marshmallows & peanut butter for 3 minutes (stir after 2 minutes). Stir then continue as directed. I followed reviewer Dragonfly AZ and sprinkled the top with mini-chocolate chips, stuck it in the warm oven until soft, then spread all over. I normally refrigerate RK Treats but have left them out as they're easier to cut at room temp. Don't think they'll be around for long. Thanks!

MMmmm, these are good! Tired of making ordinary rice krispie treats, I made these tonight and found them very yummy. My only complaint is that they seem drier than regular krispie treats and were harder to mix with the cereal as a result. I would maybe add a little more butter next time but thank you!

I love Mexican and Italian foods. I look for low-fat recipes when possible. But most important is easy to fix and affordable recipes. I love the Reiman publications--Light & Tasty and Quick Cooking.
