I was obsessed with rice crispies treats as a kid. I loved making them, covering the kitchen with melted marshmallows (sorry Mom!) and mostly loved eating them. My mind may have been blown the first time I ever had one with peanut butter. Crispy, sweet, and salty – a perfect combination. This recipe is inspired by those childhood memories and adapted from a recipe I saw on Chocolate Covered Katie. I switched out the peanut butter for PB2 and subbed some honey for agave since it isn’t my favorite ingredient. You could easily add some chocolate chips to this recipe and it would be delicious, or serve them with some vanilla ice cream. Yum.
