I tend to make these around the holiday time because they’re always a hit to share with family and friends. During the holiday season, I swap out the regular Rice Krispies for the colourful red, white and green version. They look so pretty this way on a cookie platter.
With just six simple ingredients, you’re going to see why I love these tasty dessert squares very soon! If you’re a fan of rich, fudgy desserts, you’ll also want to see just how good this gluten free chickpea brownie recipe is – it’s a must-try.

step-By-Step Made Simple
Melt the honey and peanut butter in a pot. Once melted add the salt and vanilla. 
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the crispy rice. 
Then mix in the chocolate chips and peanuts. 
Pour the mixture into the lined pan and chill. Cut into squares once cooled.
Variations
- Use other nut butter – You can use almond butter, cashew butter – or even use a nut-free alternative as well.
- Change the nuts – If you don’t want to add peanuts, you can use almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, or macadamia nuts also.
- Add a topping – Melt some of the extra chocolate chips and then drizzle the chocolate over the top!
- Change the type of chocolate – White chocolate or dark chocolate are both yummy options.
- Get festive – Change the color of the rice Krispies to add a fun holiday flair. During Christmas, they sell red and green ones at the store.
If You Don’t Eat Them All…
Leftovers are a breeze to store! Store them in a tightly sealed container on the counter for up to 5 days. I will often make these ahead and freeze them after they have been cut into squares. This way, I always have a tasty treat for when a friend pops over for a coffee. They freeze well for up to 3 months.

Every bite does indeed look amazing! All of the flavors are incredible. And I love these vibrant colors.
I had to laugh because I too live on Peanut Butter. Which makes these crisps/bars perfect for me. These will be made often in my home.
Fantastic flavors and it was a big hit I will make these colorful treats again!
So glad they were a success Claudia.
Total noob question, but what are the container counts? 1, 1/2, 2 what exactly? ? Many thanks!
Hi Tammi! Thanks for asking. I updated my recipe card and didn’t see that my little coloured hearts to represent the containers dropped off in the process. I have scored these as 1 yellow, 1/2 a blue and 2 teaspoons. I would recommend using these as a treat when following the 21 Day Fix meal plan. I like to make a batch and freeze them. They freeze really well. My family also like them so they are also a great kid friendly treat!
