Peanut Butter Rice Krispies With Chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
- 1 dash salt
- 16 ounces marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- 8 (1 ounce) bakers semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
- cooking spray
- Combine the butter, peanut butter and salt until melted and evenly combined over low heat in a large saucepan.
- (I use a large wok at a very low heat.
- ).
- Add the Almond extract and marshmallows and stir frequently until completely melted.
- (Take care the marshmallows don't burn).
- Remove from Heat and Add the Cereal and and stir until well coated with the Marshmallow.
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non stick spray and pour the rice krispy mixture into it.
- Lightly grease your hands and press down until the mixture is nice and even over the pan.
- Let cool.
- Melt the chocolate and use a spatula or brush to coat the rice krispies with the melted chocolate.
- Let Cool.
- Cut into 16 delectable pieces and enjoy!
- Notes: 1.
- Vanilla extract works well too, but I prefer the taste of the Almond extract.
- 2.
- Just sprinkle a dash of salt over the peanut butter as it's cooking, just a small pinch.
- 3.
- A 16 ounce bag of Semi Sweet Nestle's bag of chocolate can be substituted for the baking squares.
- I prefer the squares because of the easy with which they melt.
- Don't microwave them too long, or they will burn.
- Take it 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time.
- The first time I microwaved these, they burned.
- I kept opening the microwave door and seeing them in their original shape, not melted at all.
- Then I stuck my finger in one and realized they were completely melted.

- I've also made these into Rice Krispy "muffins" by pouring the mixture into a muffin pan and then spread chocolate on top of that.
- You can also make them into balls, roll the balls around in chocolate and let them cool in parchment paper.
- Also, you can make Rice Krispy "lollipops" in the same fashion.
- Roll the balls, roll them in Chocolate and insert a stick.
- You can add all sorts of creative things.
- Possibilities are endless.
- Enjoy!
