Do you ever buy a box of Rice Krispy cereal for a recipe and end up with just about an entire box leftover? Well, that’s where these tasty treats come into play!

A few weeks ago, I made my Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls for dessert. The recipe only uses 2 cups of cereal, leaving me with just about a full box still on hand. With three picky kids that claim the cereal gets too soggy too fast with milk….I started racking my brain coming up with ideas to use up the cereal

I had thought about making some simple Rice Krispies Treats, but wanted something new. Being the chocolate peanut butter lover I am, I decided to incorporate that into my dessert creation.

A few failed attempts, messes in the kitchen, and sink full of dishes later…this recipe came about and was SO simple! If only I had started with this version first, instead of all the others I tried….I wouldn’t have needed the 100 mixing bowls and ingredients all over my kitchen, haha!

I decided to make these into cups rather than bars, since it was easier to pick up and go. My kids LOVED these! They each enjoyed one for the taste test and gave me two thumbs up!
