Ingredients:

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 (10.5 oz) bag of mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional Toppings: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini M&Ms

Directions:

  • Step 1: Prepare the Cereal Mixture:
    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

  • Step 2: Add Peanut Butter and Cereal:
    Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until well coated.

  • Step 3: Melt the Chocolate:
    In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.

  • Step 4: Assemble the Roll:
    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the Rice Krispies mixture onto the parchment paper and press it into an even layer. Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the cereal mixture.

  • Step 5: Roll and Chill:
    Starting from one end, carefully roll the cereal mixture up tightly like a jelly roll. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

  • Step 6: Slice and Serve:
    Once chilled and firm, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 1-inch thick slices. Serve immediately.

Serving and Storage:

Serving:

  • Parties and Gatherings: This roll is perfect for parties, holidays, potlucks, or any casual get-together.
  • Lunchbox Treat: Individually wrapped slices are great for lunchboxes.
  • Sweet Snack: It's a delightful treat for any time you're craving something sweet and crunchy.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips for Success:

  • Use Fresh Marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows melt more easily and create a smoother mixture.

  • Don't Overcook: Don't overcook the marshmallows, as this can make the mixture tough.

  • Work Quickly: Work quickly when pressing and rolling the cereal mixture, as it can start to set as it cools.

  • Chill Thoroughly: Chilling the roll completely is essential for it to firm up and slice cleanly.

  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper makes it easier to remove and roll the cereal mixture.

Variations:

  • Different Cereal: You can use other cereals, such as Cocoa Krispies or Rice Chex, instead of Rice Krispies.

  • Add Mix-Ins: Add mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other candies to the cereal mixture.

  • Different Chocolate: Use white chocolate or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.

  • Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl melted peanut butter into the melted chocolate before drizzling it over the cereal mixture.

  • Marshmallow Cream Filling: Spread a layer of marshmallow cream over the cereal mixture before rolling it up.

FAQ:

Can I make this without marshmallows?

Marshmallows are essential for binding the cereal together.

Can I freeze the roll?

Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the cereal.

How do I prevent the roll from sticking to the parchment paper?

Make sure the parchment paper is large enough to overhang the edges of the baking sheet, making it easy to lift and roll.

What if my chocolate is too thick to drizzle?

Add a teaspoon or two of vegetable oil or shortening to the melted chocolate to thin it out.

Can I use a different type of nut butter?

Yes, you can use other nut butters, such as almond butter or cashew butter.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Roll is a fun, easy, and delicious no-bake treat that's perfect for any occasion.

The combination of crispy cereal, smooth chocolate, and creamy peanut butter is simply irresistible.

Whether you're making it for a party, a snack, or just because, this roll is sure to be a hit.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 10 ounce package marshmallows
  • ¼ cup ½ stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Prepare pan: Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
  • Add peanut butter: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
  • Add Rice Krispies cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Melt chocolate chips: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
  • Assemble roll: Pour half of the Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan and press it into an even layer. Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies layer. Top with the remaining Rice Krispies mixture and press it down firmly. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top.
  • Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the roll to set completely.

Notes

Variations:

About Sana Umer

I'm Sana Umer — the home cook behind every recipe on For Foodie Friends. I'm a Pakistani-American mom of two based in the US, and I've been cooking seriously for about a decade now, mostly because feeding a family every day is the fastest way to learn how to actually cook.

I'm completely self-taught. I learned by watching my mother in Pakistan, by burning a lot of food in my early years, and by paying attention to which recipes worked and which ones needed fixing. I don't specialize in just one cuisine — I cook the Pakistani dishes I grew up with, the American desserts my kids request, weeknight dinners, holiday roasts, and everything in between.

Every recipe is personally tested in my own kitchen, every word is written by me, and every photo is taken of food I actually made.

Hi, I'm Sana Umer — the home cook, recipe tester, and writer behind For Foodie Friends.

I'm a Pakistani-American mom based in the US. I learned to cook in two kitchens — my mother's in Pakistan, where I grew up watching whole spices bloom in oil, and my own kitchen now, where I cook for my husband and kids.

Every recipe on this site has been tested in my own kitchen, often more times than I'd like to admit, before it ever made it here. I cook a little bit of everything: the Pakistani comfort food I grew up with, the American desserts my kids beg for, weeknight dinners that need to come together fast, and the holiday spreads that take all day.

If a recipe is on this site, it earned its place. No ghostwriters, no AI shortcuts, no copy-paste from somewhere else — just real recipes from a real kitchen, written to actually work the first time you make them.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

— Sana
