My aunt used to make these when I was a little girl. I think they are a nice change from marshmallow treats.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 6 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 In a medium sauce pan, mix together sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup. Be careful not to let it burn, or it will ruin the recipe. Stir mixture until well melted. Remove pan from heat.

  3. 3 Grease well a 9 x 13 inch pan with butter or margarine. Spread mixture in pan. Allow to cool. When mixture is no longer sticky to the touch, cut into bars.

    OMG this is the recipe I have been looking for. 30 years ago I was in love with the pb rice crispy treats they served for breakfast in my school cafeteria. This is it. Chewy, peanut buttery yumminess. THANK YOU!

    I have been eating these cookies since I was a little girl. They are a family tradition! We mix the sugar and corn syrup and cook until clear. Remove from heat and add peanut butter until fully mixed. Finally fold in cereal. Use wax paper to press into the corners of pan. Melt equal parts - Read more ...

    Too sweet. If you have to make this cut way back on the sugar and corn syrup.

    I decided to make these while for my boyfriend while he was at work. I just tried one and he'll be lucky if there are any left when he gets home!

    Turned out Perfect, a great alternative to rice crispy treats for people who dont eat gelatin! I also added in chocolate chips while mixing the peanut butter with the cereal. The chips melted in just enough to make a pretty swirl pattern when spreading it into the pan.

    These taste just like the marshmallow stuff except it has the wonderful taste of PB. If you do love peanut butter I'd advise you to go on this recipe rather than the "classical" (marshmallow) one; in my opinion it stays fresh longer plus you don't have to mess with washing melted marshmallows covered pans...

    My mom used to make these but she added 1 bag of chocolate semisweet morsels to the top and baked it just until they melted. Then she spread the chocolate evenly over the top.MMMMMM...MMMM good!Taste like a peanut butter cup!
