Storage Information
Room Temperature: Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking.

Variations To Try
These rice krispie treats with peanut butter are delicious on their own but even more fun with these customizations:
Dip cooled treats in melted chocolate and top with your favorite candy for a bakery-worthy finish.
Mix in your favorite chopped nuts, sprinkles or candy for some added crunch.
Use cookie cutters to customize these treats for holidays or parties.
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?
Yes, you can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of extra texture in your treats. It will add small peanut pieces throughout the treats.
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular-sized marshmallows. Use about 40 regular marshmallows (approximately 10 ounces) instead of the mini marshmallows for melting. The extra 2 cups mixed in should be mini marshmallows for the best texture.
