Okay, so I had this idea to whip up something sweet and easy the other day. I ended up making these peanut butter white chocolate rice krispies, and let me tell you, they were a hit! Here’s how it all went down in my kitchen:
First off, I grabbed a big pot and threw in a few tablespoons of butter. I turned the heat on low and let that butter melt down nice and slow. While that was happening, I got a bag of marshmallows and dumped most of them into the pot. I kept stirring everything together until it was all gooey and smooth, you know, like a marshmallow lava flow.
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Once the marshmallows were good and melted, I took the pot off the heat. This is where the fun part starts. I scooped in a generous amount of peanut butter. I’m talking about the creamy kind, not the crunchy one. I mixed that in until the whole concoction was a beautiful, peanut buttery, light brown color.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until combined.
Next, I poured in the Rice Krispies cereal. I started with a few cups and just kept adding and stirring until everything was well coated. It’s kind of a “feel it out” situation, but you want all those little rice grains covered in that marshmallow-peanut butter goodness.
- Gradually add Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until well coated.
Then, I grabbed a baking dish and greased it up with some more butter because, why not? I transferred the mixture into the dish and pressed it down with a spatula to make it nice and even. It’s tough, but you gotta try not to sneak too many bites at this point!
- Grease a baking dish and transfer the mixture, pressing it down evenly.
White Chocolate Time
Now, for the white chocolate part. I broke up a bar of white chocolate into smaller pieces and put them in a microwave-safe bowl. I zapped it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirred it, and then zapped it again. You want to do this in short bursts, so it doesn’t burn. Once it was all melty and smooth, I drizzled it all over the top of the Rice Krispies mixture.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the Rice Krispies mixture.
Finally, I popped the whole dish into the fridge to let it set. This is the hardest part because you have to wait! After what felt like forever (probably an hour or two), I took it out and cut it into squares. They were chewy, sweet, a little salty from the peanut butter, and just the right amount of crunchy. Let me just say, these things disappeared pretty fast!
- Refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
- Cut into squares and serve.
So, yeah, that’s how my peanut butter white chocolate rice krispies adventure went. It was a pretty simple process, and the results were delicious. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a fun and easy treat to make!
