1. I love peanut butter treats. The only thing is, to me, just like peanut butter cookies, you can never really taste the peanut butter. There's always a weak peanut butter flavor. So I usually add just a tad bit more. 1/4 cup or so, or I add some peanut butter chips to liven up that taste! Yummy and good for ya! :)

2. I made this recipe with Nutella instead of peanut butter for a family get-together. They loved them so much, it's the only dish I'm ever allowed to bring anymore!

3. This reciepe is also very good when made with Coco Krispies in place of the regular Rice Kirspies. Do becareful if you melt the marshmallow and butter in the microwave. They need to to in a VERY LARGE microwave safe bowl or they will bubble over the bowl and get all over the microwave. It's a mess to clean up. Trust me on this. :)

5. The smell of peanut butter rice krispie treats brings me back to childhood- my mom wanted to add some protein to the treat to make it healthier. Now, I make them for my kids. I can't even eat a plain one! I was so disappointed when my favorite only had one heart next to it- so this mom wants to review it an give it 5 star review!
