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!
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
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/4 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.

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 🙂
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.
By “Reese’s peanut butter morsels” do you mean just Reese’s Pieces or do the morsels not have the “shell” on the outside? I don’t think I’ve seen them here (in Canada) but I haven’t looked at the Bulk Barn yet… they may have something like that. Reese’s ANYTHING and Fluffernutter ANYTHING are my favorites also.
I saw these from a mile away… I LOVE anything reeses 🙂
These look amazing! Peanut butter desserts are my weakness. I cannot wait to try these myself.
Awwww… I want to try these so badly but I live in Australia! No Reece’s here! 🙁 SAD!! I have never even seen anything similar I could substitute the Peanut Butter Cups! Oh well, I guess I’ll have to admire from a-far or attempt to eat my screen…. Awesome post tho! THANKS!
Where do you get the Reese’s morsels? I can’t find them anywhere.
I buy them at my grocery store in the baking aisle. You may be able to find an off brand of them instead??
I would totally have to physically remove myself from these. omg
These look incredible! Love the topping!
Send me recipes please
Oh wow, these look so perfect and addicting 🙂 who could stop at just one!
I love peanut butter cups, marshmallows, AND rice crispy treats. I cant wait to try these!
OMG. You have everything going on here that I need in my life.
Oh WOW- those look to die for. Peanutbutter, marshmallows, rice krispies, Reeses- all of my favorite things!
you totally wen there didn’t you? Darn it those look delicious!
Totally did.
Flutternutters are so amazing…and you put them in a krispy treat, amazing! I love everything about this recipe!
Thanks Gloria, glad you like it 🙂
Oh man look at the depth of those rice krispies! I can make a meal out of this!
I did exactly that. Four times.
Fluffernutters are my favorite! Is there really any better flavor combination? And the fact that you topped these with mini Reese’s makes this the ultimate RKT. I’m usually not a fan of plain ol’ RKT because they are just ok. But when you add peanut butter, more marshmallows, peanut butter chips, and Reese’s into the mix, then I’m dying the eat the entire pan!
If you’re going to indulge, might as well go all the way!!
Why oh why don’t we live next door to each other? This 3 hour gap is killing me!! I am so overwhelmed right now too, and I think some of these delicious and incredible krispies would be just what I need to get over that. We need to plan our next get together…you bring these and I’ll come eat them!!!
You just reminded me it’s been a while since we had rice krispies too… Need to fix that asap! 🙂 These look fabulous, Aimee!
Done and done.. these need to happen to my face, Aimee! I love fluffernutters.. and rice krispies are completely irresistible in my book. Yours couldn’t look more perfect!
Thanks girl!! glad you love them too 🙂
You had me at fluffernutter….
So, fluffernutters and Reese’s are two of my favorite things. Like, ever. But then you go and throw them in a krispies treat? I mean, yes. How could I not eat the whole pan?
It’s totally logical that you would. Sadly, I already ate them. All.
I’m so glad you dressed your Rice Krispie treats! They look so outrageously good. I didn’t know I was craving sweets until I saw these. Gah! I need to make these VERY soon!
RKTreats covered in PB and reese’s have that affect on people 🙂 have a great day Marcie!!
Life is definitely good when you have a pan of these bars nearby
Amen!!
WOW! These look like the perfect solution to a busy schedule! I’ll take a few of these please! 🙂
Ummm, I don’t share my RKTreats. haha 🙂
My keyboard is now completely covered in drool. Those look fantastic.
Sorry about that! I do have a disclaimer that I am not responsible 😉
I hope your crazy calms down soon Aimee! Love these treats. 🙂
Thanks girl, it’s all good crazy stuff…just seems to happen all at once, ya know?
This is simply gorgeous! Lovely treats. Pinned!
Thanks Julia, I just pinned your salmon. OMG yum.
I seriously love how mile-high thick your rice krispies are. That is a type of rice krispy i would love to have. I hate the ones that are low and skimp on the thickness! Haha 🙂 fluffernutter – way to go with this flavor combo!!
Go big or go home 🙂
These look so tasty! Hope things steady up for you some.
Thanks Kristen. Such is the life with 4 kids, wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂
These sound great! Love this idea!!
Just about anything with peanut butter is good! These are adorable and look so tasty!
I love those mini peanut butter cups on top, they are so cute.
The “outfit” you gave them was brilliant 🙂
Everyone likes to get dressed up, right???
Love these! I am a RKTreat fan, big time! These are so thick and chomp-able. I used mini PB cups in my recipe today too!
*claps* YAYYY! Rice Krispie treats!!!
Whyyyy does everything you post make me want to abandon hopes of fitting in a bathing suit this summer?! 😉
yeah, I gave that dream up a long time ago….
My husband and daughter (both peanut butter fanatics) would love this!
No, you cannot have a naked Rice Krispie, that’s like eating cake without frosting! I love all the Reese goodness piled on top!
Thank Tanya, glad you agree about the naked thing… haha!
I fell over when I saw these. So not kidding.
Hope you didn’t get hurt 🙂
Putting non melted marshmallows into a marshmallow krispie treat? Brilliant.
Yeah. I know 🙂
