Why This Recipe Works

  • Convenient easy ingredients. This recipe uses ingredients that you already have on hand. In our house, we usually have a ton of extra Rice Krispie or puffed rice cereal laying around. This is a great way to use all of that extra cereal.
  • Easy, and no baking required. Rice Krispie Treats are great because they give you the feel of eating a baked dessert without having to do any baking yourself. This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats is as simple as heating a few ingredients, pouring, mixing, and topping with melted chocolate.
  • Make it on Yom Tov. Since this recipe does not have to be baked, you can make it on Yom Tov without worrying that your oven is not set to the correct temperature. Just make sure you leave a flame on in order to melt the other ingredients together.
  • Pareve. There is no dairy in this recipe whatsoever! It tastes like there should be...but there isn't. Don't believe me? Just read the recipe below.

8 Ingredient Recipe

This is one of those recipes that looks and tastes like it has more ingredients than it does. One of the reasons for this is that this is a "no bake" recipe which really cuts down on the ingredient list. Also, this recipe for Rice Krispie Treats with Peanut Butter does not use mini marshmallows!

A Step by step guide to making Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Step 1 - Mix the corn syrup, sugar, and water.

In a sauce pan, mix the corn syrup, water, and sugar together and heat on a low flame. Stir frequently so that the sugar doesn't burn.

Step 2 - Heat on low flame

Keep stirring until the mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat once the sugar has completely melted and the whole mixture is liquid.

This recipe is pareve and does not require you to melt butter

Step 3 - Mix in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.

Remove the sauce pan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Keep stirring until silky smooth.

Step 4 - Pour over cereal

Now comes the fun part. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the rice krispies as evenly as possible. Stir the mixture until all of the rice krispies are completely coated with the peanut butter sauce.

Step 5 - Press into pan

While they are still warm, take the coated crispy rice cereal and press them into a 9x13 pan. You can spray the baking dish with cooking spray first.

Step 6 - Spread melted chocolate chips over the top

Melt the chocolate chips in the sauce pan using a double boiler (or you can melt them in the microwave) and spread them over the top with a spatula. Let cool in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Recipe FAQ

What can I use instead of marshmallows in rice krispy treats?

A traditional rice krispie treat uses melted marshmallows as a binder for the cereal. While you can use kosher marshmallows, this recipe uses corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter as a binder instead of marshmallows.

What can I use as a substitute for peanut butter?

Some people are allergic or just don't like peanut butter. If you want to substitute something in for peanut butter you can try almond butter or cashew butter. If you would like to steer clear of nuts completely, you can use kosher marshmallows instead of the corn syrup, sugar, water, and peanut butter.

How do I store Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats?

After they have cooled, you should cut the Rice Crispy Treats into squares and then put them into an airtight container or plastic bag. You can keep them out of the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also freeze this yummy dessert for up to 6 months.

Tips and Suggestions

  • Scotcharoos! Try replacing the melted chocolate chips with melted butterscotch chips.
  • Warm in the microwave for 10 seconds to make them extra gooey.
  • Banana Rice Krispie Treats. Mix ½ cup dried bananas into the rice krispies before mixing with the peanut butter sauce.
  • Peanut butter balls with rice krispies. Try leaving out the corn syrup and roll the peanut butter batter into a ball and then roll them over rice krispies.
  • Serve for a Shabbat or Rosh HaShannah dessert.
  • Instead of melted chocolate chips, try using our Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
