Browned butter. Peanut butter. Rice Krispies. A match made in food heaven, for sure.
Because if you can't like these, I'm not sure what's wrong with you. Oh, you're allergic to nuts? Well, fine. Then you can just make these without the peanut butter, like I've done in the past, and they'll still be perfectly yummy.
But if I had to choose? I'd probably pick the peanut butter version. Because I'm kind of in love with peanut butter. And there's nothing wrong with that. Nope!
Also? Rice krispy treats are really just one of the easiest things to make around. For real. If you need a quick little something to take on a picnic, for example, these would be easy and yummy. And easy in the kitchen is everyone's favorite.

- Peanut Butter Cookies With Reese's Chips
The other day, I was at the grocery store in the baking aisle, one of my usual haunts, and saw the Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. For all my love of Reese's, do you know, I'd never actually tried their peanut butter chips? So I bought them,...

I had meant to post this a while ago. You know, when I actually made them. But then there was this thing called Thanksgiving that happened, and I plum forgot. How very rude of me! Or, maybe I didn't forget, but with the plethora of Thanksgiving-style...
- Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies
Can I confess something? When a recipe calls for peanut butter, I've gotten into the habit of just estimating by sight the right amount. Because I hate cleaning measuring cups that have peanut butter all up in there. It's annoying, right? No one...
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Today I bring you a rice krispie treat that in my family has become something of a tradition for long road trips. While these treats are good on their own, when they've been sitting in the back of the car getting heated up by the sun as you drive,...

Browned Butter Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10.5 ounce) package mini marshmallows
- 6 cups (about a half box) rice krispy cereal
- Brown the butter in a large saucepan. If you've never browned butter before, it's pretty easy. Melt it in the saucepan on medium heat until it starts to foam up, it will eventually calm down and start to throw a nutty aroma up at your face. Once it's doing that, add in your peanut butter, salt, and marshmallows and stir them around and around and around until they're all melted into a nice smooth gooeyness.
- Turn off the heat and add in your rice krispies, mixing around with a wooden spoon until they are well coated in the peanut butter marshmallows. Dump that into a buttered 8 x8 inch pan and press down with some butter or cooking-spray soaked fingers.
- Let them set up for a bit, then cut 'em up into some bars and enjoy!
As you can see, they fill up that 8x8 pan to the brim! If you want thinner krispies, you can always use a larger pan.
The peanut butter is just the right amount in these. Not overwhelming, but with just the right amount of "hey, that's peanut butter!"
