If my two favorite sweet treats were to get married they would be Mr. and Mrs. Loaded Peanut Butter Crispy Treats! I am Kelsey from the blog Poofy Cheeks – crispy treats and peanut butter are two of my guilty pleasures. I am excited to be back on TT&J sharing the recipe for a sinfully delicious sweet treat you won’t be able to resist. If you think you can stop at just one I dare you to try!
Loaded PB Crispy Treat Recipe-
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups marshmallows
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
- 1/2 cup mini Reese cups
Directions:
- In a large pot melt butter over medium heat.
- After butter is melted add marshmallows stirring constantly until completely melted.
- Once marshmallows are melted and smooth stir in peanut butter. Remove from heat and immediately stir in cereal.
- Stir cereal until well coated and then transfer to a greased 9×13 pan, using fingers to push evenly across pan.
- Allow cereal to cool for a minute and then pour Reese Pieces over top gently pushing them into the cereal. Repeat with the mini Reese cups, allow to cool completely (if you can), cut into bars and serve.
I served these to my kids as an after school treat and I’m not sure they have been so quiet after returning from school before. There was chewing and no talking. I hope you enjoy this perfect marriage of treats as much as we did!

Thanks Kelsey! Those look amazing. And, I love the yellow and orange treats on top. They look so perfect for Fall and Halloween parties too. Kelsey has great ideas on her blog. Here are a few I think you’ll love:
Kids will love these Bloody Vampire Kid Cocktails! Wouldn’t these be so fun at a Halloween party?
She also has some delicious apple recipes for fall. These Easy Apple Pie Roll Ups look so yummy!
I love a word sign for a decor piece! Her Salvaged Wood Sign looks so perfect in her kitchen area!

My kids are hosting a Halloween party for some of the neighbor kids and I’m going to make the krispie bars-thanks so much for the recipe!
you are horrible and wonderful in that “what a yummy idea – I’m going to make these, and then eat all of them all in the same day” way.
