Once again, my love of all things peanut butter and chocolate took over and I had no control. This easy no bake treat is my weakness. They are soft and chewy with the perfect amount of sweet and salty.
I don’t think that I will ever eat regular Rice Krispies Treats again. These were just too good. And if you put the peanut butter and Reese’s up against the marshmallows in the classic Rice Krispies Treats, these win by far!

How to make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispies
- Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium sauce pan combine the sugar, Karo syrup, and peanut butter. Stir over medium heat until combined and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Pour mixture over the cereal in the mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the chocolate chips and stir again. Let cool for a minute and then fold in the Reese’s chunks. They will melt a little.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop by rounded Tablespoons onto the cookie sheet.
- You can eat them while warm and gooey, or let them cool a little.
Storing and Other Tips
Store in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag and place in the freezer. Just thaw and eat when ready.
If you have some leftovers, they can be kept out for hours in an airtight container, or place them in a fridge.
You can spread them out in a pan, and cut them into squares, or you can roll them into a ball, and have little individual treats. If you do them in a pan, you will probably want to use a cookie sheet.
If you put them in a 9 x 11 inch pan, they will be nice and thick. So it’s really up to you and your preference.
This recipe makes a lot, so it’s a great dessert if you need to feed a crowd.

I am also a large cereal lover, and know my cereals very well. If you are looking to switch out the Rice Krispies for a different cereal, I definitely have a few recommendations for you, that will add amazing crunch and flavor.

- Reese’s Puffs
- Chocolate Rice Krispies

You could really use any cereal you desire, but these would be the ones I highly recommend.
