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? Â These are AMAZING! And these treats are way more healthy than typical rice krispy treats made with butter, marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal! Â These take just minutes to make, no baking necessary and are ridiculously simple. Â 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!
