I remember the first time I tasted a Rice Krispie Treat. I was about five and was eating a bowl of rice krispies, while I was reading the box. And then I noticed an ad on the box for a little plastic yellow thing with a long piece and a handle. It was for putting the rice krispie treat on without getting your hands sticky!!!! I was so excited I saved the UPS cards until I had enough to send away for it. And the day it arrived my mom and I mad a batch of rice krispie treats!!!

1. THESE ARE AWSOME!!!!!i tried them one cold winter morning and i gave them to my kids. THEY BEGGED FOR MORE! I don't however make 52 at one time like the recipe says to, i make about 10 at one time. i use 1/2 a cup of PB, 1 cup of sugar (just normal, or brown sugar), and NO vegtable thickining. THEY TURN OUT GREAT STILL. remember this tip: YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVICE AND IT STILL WORKS IF YOU USE THE RIGHT SUBSTATUTE!!! ~Alice Netter Delaware

2. These are delicious and so easy! I made them with crunchy peanut butter, which gave them even more peanut taste.

3. I use half of a brick of chocolate almond bark and 1 cup of chocolate chips. You can melt the chocolate chips in with the almond bark in the microwave.

4. Somebody gave us these for Christmas and they were delicious! I had to find the recipe! I made them tonight. The idea of eating that much butter on top of the peanut butter kind of grossed me out. I did NOT add in the butter or the shortening. I just put in the same amount of peanut butter. They turned out great! I made my peanut butter rounds a little too big, so I only ended up with 21, and there could have been a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio. So next time I will make smaller rounds and I think it should fix that problem. I am planning on making them with almond butter in the future too, I think it sounds delicious!!!!
