These are essentially peanut butter rice krispy treats, cut into small squares and then dipped in milk chocolate. You could get more fancy and shape the crisp mixture into small balls and then dip them in chocolate, creating a truffle. Read more You could then drizzle them with a little melted peanut butter. Mmmm… I even thought about cutting up some peanut butter cups and mixing them into the squares, but in the end decided against it and went with the straight ingredients, but it’s something I may try in the future. Really, when you combine peanut butter and chocolate, little can go wrong! BrownEyedBaker See less
