Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

September 13, 2018 by Helena Leave a Comment

These Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are made without any marshmallows or butter and tastes amazing! My kids went back to school this week and that deserves a treat and this is the perfect thing.

Using Peanuts butter and honey or maple syrup makes them healthier then normal rice crispy treats filled with refined sugar, and I think they taste even better! They are gluten free and if you want to make them vegan, simply use vegan chocolate for the toping.

It is also nice that this recipe is no bake since we still have temperatures around 30 C here in Spain. Eating these cold out of the fridge is like a dream come true when the kids come home from school.

I have made a chocolate layer and then a peanut layer. I really like the layered look but you can also skip this step and mix everything together for one layer if you prefer. I am just into layers and contrasts lately in my cooking. It is so much fun and ads another dimension in your food. Do you like experimenting and having fun with you recipes?
