Indulge in a healthier twist on the classic Rice Krispies Treats with these peanut butter gems. No marshmallows needed🤗

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup peanut butter*
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2½ to 3 cups crispy rice cereal**

Directions

  1. 1

    Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, add the peanut butter. Microwave for about 50 seconds to soften it, making it easier to mix.

  3. 3

    Add the honey and vanilla extract to the softened peanut butter, and mix until well blended. Add the crispy rice cereal to the bowl. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to crush the cereal.

  4. 4

    Transfer the mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Use a spatula or your hands to flatten it out evenly among the bottom perimeter.

  5. 5

    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze) to firm up. Remove from the fridge, slice into 16 pieces (4 rows across and 4 rows down), and enjoy!
