Some days you wake up and can’t stop thinking about Cheesy Bacon and Ranch French Fries.
THEN on that same day you go to the gym.
So you think that maybe you have earned those Cheesy Bacon and Ranch French Fries…
I mean you don’t do biceps curls and squats for lettuce.
So maybe after the gym you go to the mall to think about possibly-maybe ordering some Cheesy Bacon Ranch Fries.
But then you get there.
And the food court is crowded.
And the Cheesy Bacon Ranch French Fry line is really long.
You decide the universe is telling you not to sabotage your post-holiday diet.
So you turn around and leave cursing the universe.
Then you notice…the Cinnabon line is short.
What is a girl to do?
This whole story was completely hypothetical. *ahem
On a completely unrelated note, I wanna share some yummy krispie treats with you.
Salty, sweet and peanut buttery.
They might not be Cheesy Bacon Ranch Fries or a Cinnabon, but really, what is?
First start with some pretzels.
Crush those babies up into smallish, medium pieces. Make sense?
Melt some butter on your stove top. Then some marshmallows.
You’ll need peanut butter.
Add that in the melty goodness…
Remember those crushed pretzels? Yeah, you’ll need those now…
And of course the krispies…
Press that beautiful disaster into a greased up pan.
Now, if you’re feeling fancy, you can get your drizzle on.
Melt some chocolate chips…
And get all loosey-goosey…
Drizzle ’til you can’t drizzle no mo’.
Let the chocolate set up and you are done. Dunzo. Dun-duh-duh-Dun.

Description
Peanut Butter Pretzel Krispie Treats put a crunchy twist on your ordinary homemade rice krispie treats recipe! These gooey marshmallow bars taste even better with chocolate drizzled on top…
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 2 cups “rough” crushed pretzels
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (10.5 oz) bag of mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted ~ optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×9 pan by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Crush your pretzels (it will take approximately 2/12 cups of pretzels to make 2 cups crushed). I put my pretzels in a ziplock bag and with a rolling pin crushed. Don’t crush them until they are dust.
- In a large sauce pan over low heat melt your butter.
- When the butter is melted, add your marshmallows and stir until almost melted.
- Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat. Immediately add your pretzels and krispie cereal.
- Stir until combined.
- Press evenly into prepared pan.
- If desired drizzle melted chocolate on top of krispies.
- When chocolate is set, cut into squares.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Makes approximately 20 squares.
I sure the hell hope you got that Cinnabon! Oh and rub it in that you have a nice fancy new stove!!!!! Mine only half works..nice gas leak(I know dangerous, right?) and only 3 burners work. It’s fine to get out the violin and start playing a sad song for me…or better yet, send me some of the peanut butter kris pie thing-ies!
This might be a weird compliment buuuuut you are the best chocolate drizzler ever! Seriously, that picture of the pan of krispie treats looks like art! Whenever I have to drizzle chocolate it ends up looking like a baby accidentally spilled the chocolate all over and started finger painting with it! 😛
I feel your pain. That’s what happens every time I walk past the Ben+Jerry’s section at the supermarket when I go grocery shopping post workout (bad move, by the way).
I would be addicted to these.
you crack me up. I so would have gotten the cinnabon. But these sound pretty yummy too and no line up. And the stove, I am drooling!
I say I owe these to myself after trying Zumba for the first time today.
PRETZELS in rice krispies?! What a FANTASTIC idea! I can’t wait to try it. Especially with peanut butter. And now I am obsessed with that oven and will spend the rest of my morning “researching” it.
LOVE the addition of pretzels! I die!
So glad to hear you are enjoying your new appliances! These look delicious. You can’t go wrong with pretzels, peanut butter, and chocolate.
That was a great story. I don’t do squats and bicep curls to eat lettuce for sure! These look awesome Shelly!
Yum!!!
I know what you mean… about eating right… it sure is a struggle, for me anyway.
