These are RIDICULOUS!!! Taste just like PB cups!!!
Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter? I can’t eat peanuts.
I haven’t tested it specifically, but I think you could adapt it, sure.
I made this for my brother when he came to visit and he absolutely loved them! Thank you for the recipe
Could you use a different cereal or even oatmeal?
You could use Rice Krispies. I haven’t tested oatmeal.
These are so delicious 😋 I love the peanut butter and chocolate combo. Thanks so much for the recipe 😊
I’m so happy you enjoyed them, thank you!
Can this recipe be doubled for a 13×9 baking pan?
Yes, you can double it.
This looks very good please send me the website thank you
Great recipe, thank you so much for sharing. Anyone having a problem melting their chocolates chips should try buying the mini chocolate chips, they melt super fast.
Thanks so much! They do melt easily and I also find that some brands do better than others due to varying amounts of the stabilizer used to help the chocolate keep it’s shape while baking.
AWSOME is all I have to say.😀
Thank you!
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing!
This took less than 5 minutes to make! Whaaaat?! So good. I used crunchy peanut butter for even more texture. Deeeelish
Awesome, thanks so much!
simple and delicious!
Thanks so much!
Before I try to make these, the instructions say to use an 8×8 pan and
it says: Author: Melissa Sperka
Serves: 48
Does an 8×8 pan serve 48? How big are the pieces?
The picture you show in your cookbook, looks like
30 pieces…just wondering if you double the recipe and
use a 9×13 pan. Thank You!
You cut these into 48 (1-inch) pieces. This recipe is a review I did for another Authors cookbook. If you want to cut it into bigger pieces, you can. Serves 48 and 48 servings are two different things. And yes, you could do a double batch, sure.
Delicious recipe, thank you! Would it be possible to make it ahead of time and freeze it?
Thank you.
I’ve never frozen these but, my thought is you probably could.
