Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies

this is a recipe for rice krispie treats with a kick... it's like reeces and rice krispie treats all rolled into one. these are great to make if you want something easy for a bake sale, a mixer, or even a grill-out at the fraternity house (boys love these)!!

my way of making rice krispie treats is the same as the classic recipe, so i can't take credit for it! i am just showing you how to jazz them up a bit ;-)

ingredients:

6 cups rice krispies (or store brand equivalent)

4 cups mini marshmallows

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/3 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter (this is half of one stick)


steps:

1) on medium/high heat, melt the butter on the stove in a tall pot
2) add marshmallows, chocolate chips, and peanut butter to the butter and stir until the mixture is melted together
3) when everything is melted,turn the head OFF, add the rice krispies cereal and stir until contents are completely blended
4) pour the mixture out into a greased baking pan (13 x 9)
5) pat the top of the rice krispie mixture until it is flat in the pan
6) let the treats cool and then cut into squares


time breakdown:
butter melting: 2 minutes
marshmallow/chocolate/peanut butter melting: 3-4 minutes
rice krispie stirring: less than 1 minute
putting treats in the pan/flattening the treats: 2-3 minutes
waiting for the krispie treats to cool: 20-30 minutes
