I was whipping up some Halloween treats for a friend and she said she loves all things peanut butter and chocolate. I’ll admit – my first thought was, again?! It seems like I’ve been whipping out peanut butter/chocolate combos constantly.

These were really good, though, and a fun easy treat for Halloween. I promise after this you’ll see some dessert variety!

1/2 lb. melting chocolate

In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until melted. 

Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.

Press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool.
