Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect combination of salty and sweet! Each bite is filled with a rich chocolate flavor which perfectly complements the nutty peanut butter and sea salt flakes on top. All of the cereal is coated in gooey marshmallow that has been melted with salted butter to balance out the sweetness. The texture is soft enough to pull apart, however, it can hold up in bar form.
