I knew life with 4 kids was going to be busy and hectic, but I underestimated just how much it would be. Growing up, my mom ALWAYS had an after-school-snack for us waiting when we got home. It was something I always looked forward to and something I could always count on. I always knew that I wanted to do the same for my kids one day. Sometimes I don’t always get around to making a homemade one so we go out for one after instead, but when I do make one for them, I know it means that much more to them.
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are the PERFECT after-school-snack (or a great quick and easy snack for any occasion)! They are super simple and combine two amazing ingredients; peanut butter and chocolate.
My family went CRAZY over these!
