    A stack of chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

    Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars with a little chocolate thrown in are just the thing for car rides or cook outs, but also easy to ship.  

    Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars

    I think Natalie is getting a little homesick and ready for Thanksgiving. So to help get her through the next couple of weeks, I decided to try shipping some peanut butter Rice Krispie bars.  

    While I like peanut butter, sometimes I think it can overwhelm some desserts.  For this recipe, I added pecan and it was just the perfect mix for me.  (Natalie feels that peanuts would have been better than pecans)  

    I love the chocolate crunchy texture and they are so easy to make.  I froze them before shipping to keep the chocolate from melting and it seems to have worked.  She reported that they arrived in perfect shape and the chocolate had not melted. I would not try this if it’s the middle of summer.

    How do you make peanut butter Rice Krispie bars

    Step 1: In a large microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter, marshmallows, butter and chocolate chips. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes until the marshmallows have melted.

    Step 2: Immediately add Rice Krispies and chopped nuts and stir until combined.

    Step 3: Dump into a greased 8 x 8 square pan and spread it out with a spatula. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours, before cutting.

    These have the consistency of a Rice Krispie treat but the peanut butter and chocolate add another dimension.

    I’m surprised I had any left to mail, as I kept taking bites while I was photographing.  Then while waiting in line at the UPS store, I had several folks try to talk me into sharing.
