Peanut Butter Fudge Treats

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

These peanut butter fudge treats are Rice Krispie Treats with double fudge topping, and the perfect sweet and salty snack for your sweet tooth.   Make sure you both make and hide some extras for yourself!

Yes, these ARE what you think they are. Rice Krispy Treats, topped with a layer of peanut butter fudge, topped with a layer of chocolate fudge. Oh, baby. It’s practically too much to wrap your mind around, right??

When you make these (because let’s be honest, you KNOW you are going to make these), here are a few pieces of advice. Cut them into SMALL pieces. I cut mine into one inch squares. Eating a piece bigger than one inch could make all your teeth fall out at once.

Second, I store mine in the fridge. There is definitely enough sugar in these to keep them perfectly fine stored on the kitchen counter, but I liked the harder consistency of the cold fudge. That’s just me, though. Fudge consistency is a very personal decision, and I leave that up to you.

I think that is all I have to say about these, except that you have to make them as soon as humanly possible. You only go around once.

Description

These peanut butter fudge treats are Rice Krispie Treats with double fudge topping, and the perfect sweet and salty snack for your sweet tooth.


Ingredients

Rice Krispy Treats

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups marshmallows (mini marshmallows work best)
  • 6 cups puffed rice cereal

Peanut Butter Fudge

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 pound powdered sugar

Chocolate Fudge

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Rice Cereal Treats

  1. Melt butter over low heat in a large pot. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
  2. Add rice cereal and stir until everything is mixed up well.
  3. Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with cooking spray  and press in the rice mixture (pro tip: spray your fingers with a little cooking spray so the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands!)  Let cool while you make the peanut butter fudge.

Peanut Butter Fudge

  1. Put the butter and peanut butter in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high.  Stir and microwave for another 2 minutes.
  2. Add vanilla and powdered sugar to peanut butter mixture and stir it all up.
  3. Pour over the rice cereal mixture and spread it out evenly, then pop it all in the fridge while you make the chocolate fudge.

Chocolate Fudge

  1. Put butter, milk and sugar in a medium heavy pot.  Bring to a boil and stir for 5 minutes (yes, constantly.  It will be worth it.)  Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate, and vanilla until marshmallows melt. Pour over peanut butter fudge, spread evenly and place in the fridge to harden..
  3. Cut into 1-inch pieces (or smaller,  if you have the strength). Save some in a secret place for yourself!

    This was my introduction to your blog, and, oh, my goodness! I will have to make these next week when both of my (grown) boys come home for a visit. After tasting these treats, I wonder if they will leave my kitcehn to go back to their own homes …

    Thanks everyone! The second the last one was eaten in my house, everyone started begging me for a second batch! Maybe this weekend…although I do have a cinnamon roll cake I wanted to make. :-)

    I shoot with a Nikon D700 and usually a 105mm lens for my food shots. Thanks for the nice comments! (Have you guys seen the Cookie Truffles that I posted this weekend? I think they are even BETTER!) :-)
