I love rice krispie treats. I love how easy they are to make. I love that you don’t have to bake them. And, I love the taste!
I don’t love that they are pretty much ooey-gooey bars of straight sugar. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with marshmallows every once in awhile, but I’m trying my best to cut back on all the unnecessary sugar. You certainly won’t find much nutritional value in regular rice krispie treats.

My no-bake peanut butter rice krispie treats recipe are simple to make, so delicious and filled with a lot more protein and healthy fat than your standard rice krispie treat.
