    Caramel Peanut Butter Rice Krispies!  Guess what? Caramel, Peanut Butter and Marshmallow and a luscious Chocolate Peanut layer are in cahoots with Rice Krispies! Thank you ingredients!

    Chewy, gooey rice krispies with lots of caramel and marshmallow with chocolate and peanut butter flavor!  

    Tis' the season for Caramel and such!  Caramel is such a stunner and showstopper in desserts!  It's rich, buttery, and addictive delicious!  Here's more about "What is Caramel?" to get the real scoop! 

    The secret to getting these bars their chewy texture is to get small globs of caramel, inter-twining with marshmallow and peanut butter throughout the Rice Krispies.  

    Uhhh...Yummmm!  ðŸ™‚ Damn these Caramel Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars are GOOD!

    You achieve this, when you have made the rice krispies.  You add the caramel bits in while the rice krispies are still warm, so the caramel gets soft and gooey, but not completely melted, by folding them in, until evenly distributed.  

    Immediately press mixture into your prepared pan, we're getting closer to Caramel Pleasures.

     And since I'm a self-proclaimed raging chocoholic...I made a super easy chocolate peanut butter layer on top of the rice krispies.  

    Would have been cute to add some pecans on top, guess that would make these Turtle Rice Krispies. 

    Ingredients You Need

    Caramel Peanut Butter Rice Krispies

    • butter
    • mini marshmallows
    • peanut butter
    • Rice Krispies
    • Kraft Premium Caramel Bits

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer

    • semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • peanut butter

    How to Make Caramel Peanut Butter Rice Krispies

    1. In large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and remove from heat.
    2. Stir in peanut butter until melted, then add in Rice Krispies. Fold or stir gently until well coated.
    3. Add the caramel bits in while the Rice Krispies are still warm, so the caramel gets soft and gooey, but not completely melted, by folding them in, until evenly distributed.
    4. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan coated with non-stick spray or use tin foil and so they come out easily using non-stick spray. Do not compact the bars when pressing down the mixture, they more you compress they harder they are to cut into bars, as most rice krispie treats are.
    5. Let cool.

    Place chocolate caramel peanut butter rice krispie bars in sealed container for up to one week, but they won't last that long... 🙂
