Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

"This is an easy wonderfully tastey treat that is great for all occasions. This is my mother in law's recipe, that my sweet husband had as a child, and my children ask for also. I have also molded these in to little brains on Halloween."

Questions & Replies

  1. Can I use corn syrup? Don't have any Karo.
     
  2. Using the Syrup only Karo syrup and dark or light? Does it make a difference?
     
  3. Why no marshmallows used? Can I use 13x9 in. Pan. Thank u

Reviews

  1. As with recipe and marshmellows, grab your large servings spoons from the drawer...run the hot water faucet and swipe water and shake, press on bar. But a few times and your bar is packed and when cool...cut and eat. We made for brownies/scouts over camp fire. Not that hard when kids can do them.
     
  2. This was truly awesome. Everyone loved it. The only things I did differently were to pat into a 9X13 cake pan instead of a cookie sheet and I topped it with melted milk chocolate chips. YUMMY!! I plan to try it in mini muffin pans with a dollop of milk chocolate on each one next time. This is going to become a staple in my repertoire!
     
  3. I made this once, and while it was very delicious, the recipe yielded dense, and very flat squares. I looked at a few other rice crispy treat recipes and they all call for 6-8 cups of cereal. I made it again using 7 cups rather than the 5cups suggested here, and they came out perfect!
     
  4. Buttered hands? Utensils? Just use a piece of parchment paper. For pressing/spreading rice krispy treats, it works like magic. Nothing sticks. No mess.
     
  5. Mmmmm these are chewy, rich deliciousness! I halved the recipe since I was making them for just me (and didn't need a whole huge pan of them!) I put the half recipe in an 8x8 pan. Didn't and wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing!

I live in a small town south of the Fort Worth area, and work at a metroplex hospital. I love to do anything that has family involved, it really matters not what it may be as long as we are together. I have been married to my husband for the last 6 years and have 3 little girls 13,11, & 10. I also have a 16 year old step daughter and a 14 year old stepson that is great. I have a wonderful family they all get along so good you would be amazed! <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/RedWhiteBlue.jpg" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza">
