Noah and I stayed home and made dinner and dessert for Valentine's Day. Since dinner required a little effort, we thought we'd go simple on the dessert. One of Noah's favorite desserts is peanut butter Rice Krispie treats, so I thought we could do a twist on that, with chocolate Rice Krispies.
These are SO gooey, crunchy and chocolate-y, not to mention peanut butter-y. So many delicious traits for such a simple dessert. Not only is it simple, but it's inexpensive, too, which definitely helps.
All that has to be done for these is melting butter, marshmallows and peanut butter, mixing in cereal and M&M's, pouring it in a pan, and waiting anxiously for them to set up. Easy peasy!
This is honestly one of my new favorite treats. I love the chocolate and peanut butter flavors, of course, but the crunch of the M&M's makes it just that much better. You only need five ingredients to make these, so go now!
