About
When I was younger, I remember there was a recipe on the side of the Rice Krispies box that made chocolate crispy treats. Whenever I mention them, people think I am crazy. I remember there being chocolate chips, peanut butter and butterscotch chips in the recipe. I was craving peanut butter and chocolate on Saturday and decided to re-create a childhood memory.
I did some guess-timating and they came out great. As much as they are very sweet, the butterscotch mellows the taste of the peanut butter. The Rice Krispies bring a crunchiness which is addictive...as you grab your second piece. It's a great "little" dessert that satisfies a sweet tooth after any meal.
