Rice crispy treats get a makeover with these Peanut Butter Cup Rice Crispy Treats! Creamy peanut butter, sweet honey, and delicious chunks of peanut butter cups.
When I was a kid on Halloween I pretty much viewed all candy that wasn’t chocolate in some form as a waste of candy. 😂. Bonus point if it was some kind of chocolate candy that also had peanut butter (the exception was those sour green apple caramel covered suckers, remember those??? I was randomly a sucker for those… see what I did there?).
So naturally I also tended to view your classic rice crispy treat as a bit of a waste as well. Needless to say, I had to develop a rendered crispy treat that included both of my true loves. And if using chocolate cereal and creamy peanut butter wasn’t enough I decided I should probably go ahead and add peanut butter cups as well because…. why the heck not!
