EASY FROZEN PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREAT BARS



Easy Frozen Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Bars image

This is in no way anywhere near healthy. I've never actually eaten this except for a few bites to make sure it tastes okay. I was trying to make a last minute dessert as part of an anniversary gift. I make really good peanut butter bon bons but I haven't in years so I looked up a recipe and made it all wrong. I did not even have powdered sugar and attempted to whiz it through my food processor. Did not work. Television has lied to me. Haha. Anyways, so after that mess up, I threw everything into a pan and froze it for any hour and it ended up being my lovermans favorite dessert that I made. Go figure. I didn't use measurements while making this. I've made it twice and both times came out pretty good.

  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer: This will help them stay fresh and delicious for up to 2 months.
