All the kids on the street love them, yes I have been loading them up with sugar, it's not like I'm trying to bribe them to be my friends or anything I just don't want to eat the whole pan myself!!
Super Yummy No-Bake Peanut Butter Crisp Rice Cereal Treats (yes, this is the actual recipe name!)
Recipe from: Trader Joe's
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Cup Blue Agave Syrup
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 7 Cups Trader Joe's Crisp Rice Cereal
- Chocolate Chips (optional) -- These should always been mandatory!
Add peanut butter to mixture. Mix well. Add crisp rice cereal and mix well. If desired, add chocolate chips, then mix well. --I added the chocolate chips to the top, I thought they would melt if I added them with at this point, but they ended up melting on top.
Press the mixture into a 13x9x2-inch greased baking pan.--I didn't grease the pan, I used a pampered Chef stoneware pan
, it didn't stick. Refrigerate for several hours to cool and harden.--I put it in the fridge for two, the kiddos couldn't wait any longer!
Makes about 16-2" squares.
When you get ready to cut the treats, go ahead and loosen the sides with a butter knife and then flip it out on a cutting board. It's a lot easier to cut this way.
I will probably make these again but I will tinker around to reduce the sugar some. I'll keep you posted on any changes I make.
