So my schedule is quite overwhelming right now. I’m not even going to describe or complain because I’m sure you all have had times in your life when things were so busy you couldn’t even look at the calendar without throwing a tantrum. Right?
Then I realized it has been MONTHS since I shared a Rice Krispie treat recipe on the blog. And that, my friends, is unacceptable. I apologize.
How to make Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
PRO TIP: Use binder clips or mini clothespins to secure the parchment paper to the pan.
In a large pot melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and turn heat to low.
Stir until completely smooth, remove from heat.
Quickly stir in peanut butter and fold in cereal gently.
Fold in mini marshmallows and pour into prepared baking dish. DO NOT PRESS HARD.
PRO TIP: To keep from sticking, rinse hands in cold water, shake off excess and press gently on krispie treats.
Spread melted peanut butter morsels over the top and immediately add the peanut butter cups on top.
Allow to set one hour. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Fluffernutter Krispie Treats
Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats topped with melted Reese’s PB morsels and mini Reese’s PB cups. A delicious twist on a childhood favorite!
Ingredients
- 10oz bag regular sized marshmallows
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ¼ cup mini marshmallows
- 1 bag (10oz) Reese's peanut butter morsels, melted
- 2 bags (8oz each) Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and turn heat to low. Stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and quickly stir in peanut butter. Add cereal.
- Fold in the mini marshmallows. Pour Krispies treats into a 9inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper (or buttered foil). DO NOT PRESS them in tightly. Just very gently even the top of the treats (I use the butter wrapper or marshmallow bag wrapper to press it in). Spread melted peanut butter morsels over the top.
- Top the melted peanut butter morsels with the peanut butter cups. Press those in so they stick! Allow to set, about one hour. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container. ENJOY.

I’m wondering if anyone has tried to use “NATURAL” peanut butter in this recipe? The kind where the oil “sets” on top of the jar. Thank-you in advance.
Other have asked, please answer the question on pan size. You state a 9 inch square pan. How do you get 32 servings from that small of a pan? What is the size of the bars?
These are awesome but I found I had to add vegetable oil to the melted peanut butter chips because they wouldn’t spread well otherwise. Not sure if any one had this same issue or not?
Hmmm, I occasionally have had trouble melting my PB chips too. The key is to heat them slowly. Glad they turned out good in the end 🙂
can I is fluff in store of marshmallow if so how much
32 squares from a 9″ square pan? Did you mean a 9×13 instead?
Yea that’s whats I was wondering too.
Oh, goodness! I missed the “melted” part in the ingredients list and was expecting a step telling me to do that. My bad. I guess I was so excited to make these I read too fast. So sorry! And they were wonderful. A keeper. Thanks!
These are great. However, in the recipe above, I think you left out the step where you melt the Reese’s Morsels and spread the melted morsels over the top of the cereal mixture, before putting the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top. I figured it out, but it would be helpful to have that step included.
Hmmm, I see it there.
I agree. Step #2 says pour treats into pan. Then Step #3 goes directly to ‘Top the melted peanut butter morsels with the peanut butter cups.” It never tells you to pour melted peanut butter chips over crispy treats. I figured it out after looking at the photo, but at first I thought maybe the melted chips were supposed to be added in with the creamy peanut butter in step #1.
Oh, gotcha. Just fixed it! Thanks so much for the heads up.
Made these for thanksgiving reunion- they were so amazing that everyone loved them. Thanks for sharing!
These look amazing! I’ll be bringing them to a Labor Day BBQ. Yum!
I made these and they are delicious. I have one question. Do your mini peanut butter cups melt? Mine started melting as soon as I put them on.
