Quite a long name for an easy 3 ingredient recipe.
Sometimes I get serious cravings. And 90% of the time they involve Krispie Treats. There is something just so magical about a Rice Krispie treat. No store bought version can ever fulfill this craving.
So last week when I was craving some Krispie Treats, I opened up my pantry to get the ingredients. You know, Rice Krispies, marshmallow, butter.
Ummm, I had no marshmallows and no butter. WHAT?
I know. So I remembered YEARS ago I made Krispie treats using butterscotch morsels and peanut butter.
But, as luck would have it, I was out of creamy peanut butter. I KNOW. (What I should have been doing at this point was realize I needed some serious grocery shopping).
I did have a beautiful jar of White Chocolate Wonderful. Have you tried this stuff? OMG, it’s amazing. But I don’t like to bake with it. Cause it’s too good. Like, I don’t even share it much with the family it’s so good. But, I figured, since I don’t usually share my Rice Krispie treats I could dive into my jar of White Chocolate Wonderful.
If you haven’t tried this before, it’s white chocolate with peanut butter. All scientifically blended together to create a delicious jar of wonderful (probably where they came up with the name, ya think?) I’m sure the website (or the jar) has a better description. Needless to say, these treats were amazing. You can use creamy peanut butter if you choose, but if you can get your hands on a jar of this it would be better. So much better.

I’m oddly not usually a rice krispie treat fan, but I’m obsessed with Peanut Butter and Co. (and love their White Chocolate Wonderful), so I think I’d be down with these!

Because these are made with no marshmallow they only vaguely resemble traditional krispie treats. They really taste more like a candy bar!

peanut butter, butterscotch, and white chocolate are three of my very favorites – a trifecta of amazing flavors. And I love rice krispie treats – they are so versatile and being no bake scores them high on my list.

I need krispies like right now!!! I love that you made these more like a candy bar without the marshmallows. That peanut butter is divine…I usually eat it by the spoonfuls and then don’t have enough to bake with

I have never tried the White Chocolate Wonderful, but I do have peanut butter, and an over abundance of butterscotch chips – so I will be making these today!!

Enjoy Erin. Let me know how it turns out!
Without marshmallows, don’t these get hard? I made the P.B. version on the back of the cereal once and they turned into a rock. Do you think you could add marshmallow to these like normal?
No, they don’t get hard, but they definitely are a different consistency. Like a candy bar! A delicious, soft, decadent candy bar!!
Yum! Here I thought our m&m rice krispie treats were amazing..check out all your awesome variations! Your pictures are amazing by the way.
