Notes

Double or Triple Batch. This peanut butter chocolate rice krispie treats recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled. Simply use a larger rectangle pan.

Want A Less a Firm Texture? You can make softer and more gooey bars by reducing the amount of Rice Krispies by a ¼ or ½ cup less.

Grease Your Fingers. Use greased fingers or a greased rubber spatula to make it easier to press the treats into the pan.

Don't Press Too Firmly. This may cause the treats to become compacted.
