These Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Treats are a delicious, no-bake dessert that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate with the light, crispy texture of puffed rice. These treats are sweet, salty, and satisfyingly crunchy, with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center from the peanut butter and chocolate combo.
Everyone needs a treat everyday now and then, right? These are AMAZING! And these treats are way more healthy than typical rice krispy treats made with butter, marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal! These take just minutes to make, no baking necessary and are ridiculously simple. Sign me up!

I used Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice - Gluten Free Cereal which is a great alternative to Rice Krispies cereal that's filled with preservatives, additives and probably genetically modified organisms! Each square is only 130 calories* so you can enjoy it GUILT-FREE! Try these and let me know how you like or LOVE them!
