Rice krispie treats are taken to the next level with a load of chocolate and peanut butter. These babies are rich, delicious, no bake and easy to make!

Classic rice krispie treats are given the one two flavor punch of peanut butter and chocolate. There isn’t just a little in there, this is full on flavor. You are going to love this tasty twist on the classic cereal bar.

Ingredients including marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and rice krispie cereal ready to be made into snack bars.

Rice krispie treats are one of those simple recipes that can be whipped up almost any time. They have that perfect balance of chewy and crispy and take almost no effort to make.

Add in a heaping pile of peanut butter and plenty of chocolate and what was good is now great! These make a fun lunchbox snack or would be perfect for a party.

The result still gives you that chew and crunch that make the originals so good, but with a ton more flavor. For a peanut and chocolate lover like myself, it’s hard to beat.

With such a high ratio of goodies to cereal they taste fabulous. They are soft and almost feel gooey without being messy.

They almost feel like candy as much as rice krispie treat. All of that peanut butter really shines through!

If you are looking for a plain rice krispie treat recipe, I have one for thick and chewy rice krispie treats that are decorated like mummies. If you want a cute way to decorate these as turkey treats, just wait until Wednesday!

Luckily you don’t need to wait to make these treats. They are fabulous just the way they are!

For another fun dessert that doesn’t require turning on the oven, try making a no bake peanut butter pie. It features a fluffy peanut butter filling and a chocolate cookie crumb crust.

We love peanut butter and chocolate so what is not to love here? I love the idea of putting peanut butter and chocolate with Rice Krispies.

I'm pretty sure the only way to improve upon Rice Krispie treats is to add chocolate and pb. These look so good, Carlee!
