Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 block of white almond bark
- ½ cup peanut butter
Crunchy Mix-Ins
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- 2 cups roasted peanuts
Toppings
- A handful of mini M&M’s
- A handful of sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the Almond Bark: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the block of white almond bark until it becomes smooth and easy to stir. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, heating in 30-second increments to prevent burning.
- Combine Peanut Butter: Stir the peanut butter into the melted almond bark thoroughly until fully incorporated, creating a creamy binding mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies, roasted peanuts, mini M&M’s, and sprinkles. Ensure the ingredients are well distributed for even flavor and texture.
- Coat with Mixture: Pour the warm almond bark and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir gently but thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated.
- Form Treats: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the coated mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper, spacing them to prevent sticking together.
- Chill Until Firm: Allow the treats to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm, about 15-20 minutes, so they hold their shape.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these delightful No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Treats as a quick snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use white almond bark as a substitute for white chocolate for easier melting and sturdier treats.
- You can customize by swapping mini M&M’s and sprinkles with other candies or dried fruits as desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
- Be cautious when melting almond bark in the microwave to avoid overheating and burning.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter and roasted peanuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds.
