You are going to love these peanut butter rice krispie squares because they are so quick and easy to whip up. These treats are so gooey and chewy – those 12 extra marshmallow do the trick perfectly. And if you like peanut butter, even just a little bit, you’ll love these. They have the perfect amount of peanut butter, enough to taste it, but not enough it masks the taste of the marshmallows. These squares are a little thicker than some other squares. If you want to make then a little thinner, just grease an extra pan – an 8×8 works perfect – and press the remaining mixture into the second pan. I like to store mine in an air tight container in the fridge, it makes them a little crunchier but still gooey. They are addicting and once you have one bite I think you’ll agree why!
