Lower Fat Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Bars created by PaulaG

I would suggest to use only Kraft Jet-Puffed marshmallows I have used other brands in the past and the taste and texture was not as good

These are great and quick! I used Nutella in place of the PB and they were delicious! I melted everything in the microwave (a minute after each step and then 30 sec after PB is added). Much easier than the Karo syrup recipe! Thanks!

Delicious rice krispy treats. My family loves them in general and loved them with the peanut butter. Thanks for sharing!

Mmm tasty! My family loves anything that has peanut butter in it so I just knew these would go faster the plain rice crispy treats. I have also added chocolate chips to them (when Im not watching my waist) and thats a big hit as well. Thanks Kittencal!!
