Peanut Butter Cereal Treats
June 6, 2013
I remember traveling to my grandmother’s house at a young age and having a table full of baked goods waiting for me when I arrived. My grandmother loved to cook and even published three cookbooks on her own. One of the desserts that I remember fondly were the no-bake cornflake candy. Anyone remember these easy treats?
Of course I decided to take a different spin on this traditional candy by making them like a rice krispie treat. Since I wanted them to resemble rice krispies I decided to throw in a couple along with some chocolate. You can never go wrong with adding chocolate to a recipe.
Don’t tell my grandma that I like these peanut butter cereal treats more.
Shhhh….. our little world wide secret.
I made these treats for Shanna over at Pineapple and Coconut for this month’s Left Over’s Club.
Sorry for the short post today! I was packing last night for BlogHer Food in Austin! Let me know if you will be there.

Peanut Butter Cereal Treats
Ingredients
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 18 oz. peanut butter, creamy
- 3 cups Special K Original Cereal
- 3 cups rice krispies
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
Add the syrup and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes at a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl.
Stir in the vanilla and then add peanut butter, Special K and rice krispies. Mix everything until it is well coated. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and continue to stir.
Coat a casserole dish with non-stick spray or butter and then pour in the cereal mixture. Using a spatula make sure it goes into all creases and press down lightly to ensure it sticks together.
Sprinkle a couple more chocolate chip morsels on the top and let it cool for 2-3 hours before slicing.

This is almost exactly the same recipe as my grandmas except we do not use the rice Krispies and we melt the chocolate over top so there is one hard chocolate layer! To funny!
