Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Last Updated July 20, 2024
What's peanut buttery, sweet, chewy, crispy, (aren't you so glad I didn't just spell that "krispy"?) easy to make, and makes you want more?
This. Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats DELUXE. Or....Reese's Loaf, as my brother affectionately called it the first time I made it.
As if Rice Krispie Treats weren't delicious enough, we added peanut butter, Reese's, and mini marshmallows. Oh yes. OH YES.

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Makes about 16 squares, but hey, that all depends on who's slicing, doesn't it?
Ingredients:
1/4 cup / 56g butter
10 oz / 283g bag of marshmallows, regular or mini
1/2 cup / 130g peanut butter
5 cups / 140g Rice Krispie cereal
1 1/4 cups / 70g mini marshmallows
1 8 oz / 227g bag mini Reese's, miniatures, or regular, chopped
Directions:
Prepare an 8 or 9in / 20 or 23cm square baking dish by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter and marshmallows. Stir until melted and smooth.
Working quickly, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, then Rice Krispies. Gently fold in mini marshmallows.
Using a well greased hand or spatula, scrape Krispies out of the pan and into the baking dish, gently pressing into an even layer.
Top with mini Reese's and (try to) allow to set before slicing.
Jenny's Notes:
Optional: For an even loafier loaf of Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats, melt a bag (about 10 oz) of peanut butter chips and spread on top of the Rice Krispies, right before adding the Mini Reese's on top.
