This is the easiest of peasiest recipes. It’s no bake, has a short ingredients list, and they take no time at all to make…or devour. I am allllll about having a little crunch in my desserts which is why I jump at the chance to use rice krispies in anything. That added texture makes for such a satisfying bite. Ugh, I love it. Also peanut butter and chocolate are just a classic. This is pretty much a blend between rice krispie treats and peanut butter chocolate fudge. Sounds pretty good, right?
To bump it up a bit, I added a drizzle of peanut butter on top which is totally optional. I found that the peanut butter flavor got a little over powered by the chocolate so this helped to bring it out a bit more. You can also play around with the types of chocolate you use but my go to is always dark chocolate. It just works so well to balance out the sweetness in anything.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet to reflect just how easy this recipe is. If you’re looking for something delicious to make for an event, a friend, or just cause, this will do the trick when you’re in a pinch. It’s a nice recipe to keep in your back pocket when something pops up and you have to quickly whip something up. It’s a classic flavor combo that everyone can enjoy!
