No-Bake Caramel Peanut Butter Krispies

This simple and delicious dessert treat comes together FAST! It’s also a great recipe to make with your little ones. And if you love Rice Krispie treats, give this marshmallow-free version a try. It just may be your new favorite.

Firstly, line a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with parchment paper. I recommend spraying the pan with nonstick spray so that the parchment stays better. Then, in a large skillet, heat the condensed milk, brown sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat and simmer for another two minutes. Remove the pan from heat.

Next, add in the Rice Krispies cereal to the pan and use a spoon to combine. Pour the entire mixture in the prepared baking pan. Use either clean damp hands or a rubber spatula to press the bars into the pan.

Let the bars cool prior to adding the frosting. To make the frosting, simply microwave the chocolate and peanut butter on low heat, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. Once the mixture is completely melted, pour overtop of the cooled bars and use a spoon to spread.

This recipe doesn’t yield a large amount of icing, just enough to thinly coat the top of the bars. Be sure to cool the bars completely before removing from pan and cutting into squares.
