I normally don’t post on the weekends, but I felt like there were a few crucial pieces of information I needed to share.
First of all, look who changed her mind about the madras plaid shorts. I could eat her up.
Secondly, I ran by Gap to see if they had put a shirt on sale that I’ve had my eye on. Sadly, it’s still full price. However, they are having a 3-day sale on shorts. All shorts are $25.00 through May 25.
I felt like I wouldn’t be a true friend if I didn’t share this information.
Lastly, I am saddened for all of you who have never experienced peanut butter Rice Krispie treats and feel that needs to be remedied toot suite so here is the recipe.
(I thought about making some so I could include pictures but then I lost my motivation. Not to mention that it’s about as foolproof as boiling water.)
Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
6 cups Rice Krispies
In a large pot combine syrup, peanut butter and sugar over medium-low heat. Stir until thoroughly mixed together and smooth.
Remove from heat and add in Rice Krispies.
Pour into buttered 9 x13 pan and press down with buttered spatula.
Eat them until entire pan is gone which will probably be about six minutes later.

Oh, the madras shorts are beyond cute! And the peanut butter rice krispie treats? Cruel and undeniably delicious punishment for reading your blog. How can you give a hot sale tip for shorts in the same darn blog entry as this recipe? And is it possible to curse and praise you at the same time?
So cute! A love of khaki and plaid shorts…she has a well rounded sense of fashion!
Thanks (or not) for the recipe! Top those babies with some nutella and you’ve got a treat that will make me about 50 lbs. heavier just by looking at them.
Okay- I’m a strong STRONG believer in the PB rice krisp1e treats. Growing up, that was the only way my mom ever made them. I thought there was something wrong with the regular ones the first (and several subsequent times) I had them. It’s just not the same without the peanut butter.
She is so cute in those shorts!
adorable! One can never go wrong with pink in my book
PB Rice Krispies rock! My brother loves them so much he learned how to make them
I am still quite partial to the marshmallow one’s but my Mum, borther, and sister-in-law can eat a pan of the PBRK’s in one sitting…crazy!
have a fabulous weekend.
Caroline is too cute. And so are those shorts!
My mom always says that kids live to make a liar out of you. Right after I say my kids won’t eat carrots, they walk into the kitchen and ask for some baby carrots with ranch, and can they have some cooked carrots with dinner.
Have a restful weekend!
Too cute! The shorts are adorable.
The PB Rice Krispies sound tasty – I make a variation called Scotcheroos and it’s basically the same except you also put either chocolate (like melted chocolate chips) or chocolate mixed with butterscotch (also melted chips) spread on top. Yum!!!
Why oh WHY do I keep reading this BLOG! First, it made me have bladder control issues and NOW it’s threatening to clog my arteries too? DANG! Do they make a patch for quitting the Big Mama Blog??
Oh my gosh! That’s the ONLY way I make Rice Krispy treats (except I use brown sugar instead of white–it’s healthier that way). Yum!
Those shorts are adorable, and so’s the little girl!
Sounds yummy I can’t wait to try them.
I have enjoyed reading your blog.
I am new to the blog world, but have seen the miracle of the blogging community and prayer in the last two days. Hope you will stop by my blog and pray for little Maggie.
Cute shorts on Girly! Thanks for the sale info!
Oh my, you girl is too cute. I made your pizza last weekend and it was the BEST pizza i have ever made. Thanks for sharing.
There are people out there who have NEVER had peanut butter Rice Krispie treats?
They’re the “real” Rice Krispie treat in my opinion.
I LOVE peanut butter! We go way back. I shudder at thought of those with peanut allergies. What kind of life is that?
love the recipe… they sound SO GOOD!!!
She is the sweetest little girl…..wow, I can see how you melt! Those eyes! That smile. How blessed you are!
But I will have to say that I feel a Shred sabotage coming on with posting that recipe!
(as I copy/paste with plans of making it for tomorrow’s cookout)
Have a wonderful and safe weekend~

I see Caroline is still doing her famous Caroline pose when she agrees to have her picture taken.
She is so darlin’.
My mom used to make peanut-butter Special K bars – - – very similar to your recipe, only you use Special K instead of Crispies and spread melted chocolate chips over the top when you’re finished. They were my fave. Well, ONE of my faves anyway.
thanks for the recipe! that sounds similar to my “puppy paws” recipe…but use cocoa puffs instead of rice krispies and drop spoonfuls on wax paper to cool. YUM!
$1 flip flops at old navy all day saturday
Junglewife beat me to the punch! You have to melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips and put them on top. Scotcheros all the way!!
Oh yea! Forgot to agree how adorable your girl is and thanks for the sales tips. Some rain in the forecast here this weekend so hope to squeeze in some shopping!
LOVE peanut butter Rice Krispie treats — in fact, that’s the only way I make them any more. Only I use the traditional recipe with marshmallows and margarine and just ad peanut butter to it.
I also melt chocolate chips (and toss in a few peanut butter chips if I have them) and pour that over the tops. Luscious!
Madras shorts, sales info, and peanut butter rice krispie treats (which I’ve never had), all in one post…love it!
Thanks for sharing the recipe! You are most definitely a true friend
!
I too could not consider myself a true friend if I didn’t let you know that adding a can of chocolate frosting to the top of the peanut butter rice krispie treats once they have cooled slightly, makes them even more delish than they already are! Crazy I know – but very, very true!
OOOHHHH….the peanut butter rice krispies sound so scrumdidiliumptious!
And Caroline in the shorts is too cute for words! You are a blessed woman indeed
Have a blessed weekend!
Mercy sakes, you reminded me of my favorites…Chocolate Scotcheroos! You’re leaving the best part off of the recipe! Melt 1 cup semisweet choc chips and 1 c butterscotch chips in a saucepan over low heat. Pour over top and allow to cool to set the chocolate mixture. Absolutely heavenly! Here’s a link to the recipe: http://www.allhomemadecookies.com/recipes/browniesbars/chocolatescotcheroos.htm
I love those! (The shorts and the dessert). In Minnesota we call them scotcharoos.
Thanks for the recipe – I’m one of those people you’re feeling sorry for. That’s about to change.
She looks cute as can be in those shorts – madras brings back tons of memories.
And I’m pretty excited that Shelly just let us know flip flops are on sale for $1 at Old Navy all day today. I’m on my way!
She looks so cute! And I am sure the recipe is fat free and calorie free, right????
She is so stinkin’ cute! Love the pose!
Thanks for the recipe. I bet my husband (ok, really me) would love to try them!
Have a great weekend!
How have I never had PB rice krispies before? I read the post, walked to the kitchen, and made them immediately. My children thank you, my bottom doesn’t.
The Rice Krispie Treats recipe from the box (with marshmallows) is wonderful with a cup of p’nut butter added, too! It’s the only way my mom made them, so the only way I’VE made them!
and? Kati mentioned she found flip fllps at Old Navy for just a buck!
Run, don’t walk…
Karo syrup and peanut butter. I feel the protein balances out the carbs. Don’t you?
I must be soooo cheap! I wouldn’t consider $25 for shorts a “sale”. (I guess that’s why I have to stick to Old Navy!) =]
Love the shorts- what a cutie!!
Glad you convinced her!
My grandmother makes all kinds of goodies, and she has her own twist on the PBRKT – instead of Rice Krispies, use Corn Flakes. It sounds a little odd, but it is OH SO GOOD! And we call them Corn Flake Cookies…..ladies, you heard it here 1st!
I grew up w/ PB in my rice krispy treats. My hubby thinks they are gross that way…I think they are SUPER bland w/out PB. What’s a girl to do?!?! Well, usually the PB wins! My recipe calls for butter, marshmallows, rice krisp, and PB though. HOWEVER, the best EVER are made with PB and COCOA KRISPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUMM-O!!
Hi. Followed your blog from compassion. Your daughter is too cute and I love the shorts!
Thanks for posting the pb recipe. I was going to buy some rice crispy treats recently till I saw that they were made with dairy stuffs in them. I’ll definitely be trying this version!
Our family loves these yummy treats but we use chex cereal and then we drizzle the top with melted chocolate. Yummy!
instead of rice krispies, use corn flakes….OMG!!!
Those shorts are adorable!!! I want me some!
I used to always make RKT’s for my kids, but I was smart. I would make one pan for them and one for me, but I never told them that…so Shhhhh!
But making them with peanut butter? OMG, I wish I had some Rice Krispies right now!
And now reading the comments and thinking Chex.. cornflakes… Cocoa Krispies…. chocolate chips…
I’m probably gonna end up hating you all, but hey, a girl only lives once… right?
OOOOOOhhhh…I was just at the Gap today and bought two pairs!!! And all their tanks are $10, so I bought like a thousand!!
And Banana Republic has all full priced items 30% off. So I bought some full priced items.
Yum!!
Sandy
…and what a great thing that she did change her mind! Too cute!
It’s such a relief that madras is making a comeback. I think I’ve held on to my clothes long enough that they just might be stylish again.
My grandmother used to make those PB rice krispie treats. They’re even better with melted choc chips spread over the top.
I made your recipe on Saturday. YUMMY!
That is the same recipe my great grandma used and the only way that I have ever made mine. Topped with melted chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and chilled, you can’t beat ‘em. The marshmallow ones are just all wrong when this is what you’ve grown up on! LOL
My 14-year-old daughter made PB treats using Cocoa Krispies and entered them in our county fair last fall (her first entry ever.) She won a 1st place blue ribbon and also an Outstanding ribbon, so I guess the judges loved the chocolate/PB combination!!
When my friend makes peanut butter Rice Krispies, she drizzles melted chocolate over them! They are to die for!
