These Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are gooey, chewy and the perfect treat for Easter! Add a few sprinkles or your favorite Spring-inspired candies on top for a festive dessert for the whole family!

As a child, I absolutely LOVED Kellogg’s Rice Krispies treats. Sometimes, my mom would make them for us after school and we would pretty much devour the entire batch! When I was old enough to make them myself, I would experiment with these treats and add in a few fun flavors, such as peanut butter and chocolate. It was the perfect combo, so naturally I decided to experiment with these flavors again and created these amazing Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

These treats were super easy to make! All you need are a few simple ingredients: Kellogg’s Original Rice Krispies Cereal, marshmallows (I used the Publix Private Label Mini Marshmallows!), butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sprinkles.

I picked up all of my ingredients at Publix because they always have the best deals. Now through 4/9/21, you can get a free package of Publix marshmallows (up to $2) with the purchase of 2 Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® Cereals, which are located in the cereal aisle.

How to Make Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients & Supplies:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 package (10.5 oz) Publix Private Label Mini Marshmallows
• 6 cups Kellogg’s Original Rice Krispies Cereal
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 & ½ cups milk chocolate chips, melted
• Sprinkles
• Mini muffin tin

When making these treats, you can choose to use the stove top or microwave method. Since I’m all about quick and easy recipes, I decided to whip up these treats in the microwave.

Start by adding the butter and marshmallows to a large heat-proof bowl, and microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring between each until they are both melted. Next, stir in the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Cereal and scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and press it into each mini muffin tin. Make sure to press a small hole in the middle for the filling.

Once all of the mini muffin tins have been filled with Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats, place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter into the middle of each treat.

Melt the chocolate chips, and place about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter. Add a few sprinkles and place in the refrigerator to harden.

Once the treats are done, package them in a cute Easter-themed basket or place them on a platter for a tasty Easter dessert! It’s the perfect treat for Spring and definitely something that the whole family will enjoy!
