Best Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats (No Corn Syrup)

"I had peanut butter rice krispy treats years ago and loved them. Now when I went to search for the recipe they all included chocolate or corn syrup or some other kind of cereal. So I just went for it, and they came out perfect, just how I remembered them :) Very popular with kids!"

directions

  • melt butter in large saucepan over med-low heat, stir in marshmallows.
  • stir until melted.
  • add peanut butter until combined, remove from heat.
  • stir in rice krispies. i just pour directly from the box, so i don't have exact measurements. i would start with 6 cups and add more as needed. it shouldnt be too gooey.
  • press into greased 13x9 pan. cool completely and cut.

  1. FYI... marshmallows contain corn syrup...
     
  2. Hubby loved these. I followed the recipe exactly as written. It didn't say where in the instructions to add the vanilla so I added it when I added the peanut butter. I also used Skippy Natural peanut butter. I used six cups of rice krispies but next time, I would cut them back a bit as I like them a bit more gooey.
     
  3. The recipe says 1/2 teaspoon vanilla but the directions does not include the vanilla? I made it without the vanilla and tweaked it according to myself and my kids taste buds and it turned out great.
     
  4. I'm pretty sure the no corn syrup in the title is referring to the fact that you don't have to add Karo syrup and not that the marshmallows don't have corn syrup.
     
  5. We used chunky peanut butter. This was excellent. Just like my mom used to make. I especially like the lack of corn syrup. Makes it not too sweet but just right. I should have melted some chocolate chips on top like my mom did but it was too good to wait for such a step to be done. Yummmmmmm.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in MI with my family and am always on the lookout for new tasty recipes that even my toddler will like. He loves meat and pasta, most fruit and is getting better about veggies. I cook every meal 7 days a week, with the occasional lunch or dinner out (very occasional!) but I love cooking so it's not a bad thing to me. <br> <br>I am a big sweets eater and recently got an ice cream maker so I have been whipping up lots of ice cream. My favorite so far has been Ben and Jerry's heath bar crunch, it's so creamy and only lasts 2 days in this house! Other baked goods and homemade bread are favorites too, though not much bread gets baked in the summer. <br> <br>I hate doing dishes! We are currently house hunting and a dishwasher is a must (we don't have one right now). Luckily my dh is pretty good about helping out with the dishes :) <br> <br>I know it seems like I give lots of good reviews, but there is a good reason: I know what we like, so I pick dishes I think we will like, and often we do. If i give a review of a recipe with no stars it's because I think I did something wrong usually so that's why it didn't come out right. Or if something has excellent ratings and I don't like it, I don't want to ruin that, because obviously I didn't like something, but that's not a refection of the actual recipe! <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <br> <br>I dislike when people don't make the recipe correctly and give it a bad review. Ok, if you change one or two small things, fine, but if you make major changes, not ok. And when people give a bad review because it was good, but not what they are looking for? Sorry, but I don't get that. YOU picked it, if it tastes good but wasn't what you were looking for, not the recipe's fault :)
