I live on peanut butter! This is an absolute truth. Not only is peanut butter a fantastic source of protein and fat it is delicious. So when I was thinking about a different type of treat to add to my holiday platter this year I had to add a recipe with my favourite ingredient… you guessed… peanut butter!
These Peanut Butter Crisps are perfect for a Christmas cookie platter, a good treat for kids and fit in the 21 Day Fix Plan as a treat!
Fantastic right!
I used holiday Rice Crispies to add a little festive cheer to these for Christmas. They are very simple to make but one word of advice is to make sure you line the pan with parchment paper. Without it I find these get stuck in the pan and break apart easily when you try and pull them out. If you use parchment paper you can lift them out carefully when they are cooled and cut into squares.
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup skinless salted peanuts or unsalted and add a 1/2 tsp salt to honey/peanut butter mix
-
In a large pot heat honey and peanut butter on low heat until they are melted and blended together.
-
Add vanilla and salt (only if using unsalted peanuts)
-
Remove from heat
-
Add Rice Krispies, chocolate chips and peanuts
-
Mix well
-
Press into an 8X8 glass pan lined with parchment paper
-
Cool in fridge
-
Once completely cooled and set you can remove the peanut butter crisps from pan and cut into squares
21 Day Fix Container Count: 1 yellow , 1/2 blue, 2 teaspoons

Oh, love the holiday Rice Krispies. This is quick and easy and perfect for my holiday table.
Home made sweets are always the best treats! On our christmas platter we will have some dried fruit and nuts, but maybe I should add some of your cookies also. We love peanuts!
oh what fun! I didn’t know there was such a thing as ‘holiday rice krispies’. I wonder if they are sold over here
Aah those remind me of childhood, used to love rice krispie cakes, especially with chocolate. Love the peanut butter in there!
all my favorite combined in one!! this treat looks perfect! I love the photos too looks very appetizing!
Love this kind of treat especially during holiday times, peanut butter, rice krispies. chocolate . Not only kids friendly but also brings out nostalgic memories.
Perfect way to jazz up Rice Krispie treats. My grandchildren would love these! Thank you for sharing on Party in Your PJ’s!
I love anything with rice krispies! I am sure I would love these!! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party! Have fun! x
These look lovely. I’m going to make some with almond butter right now! (I’m not a peanut fan sorry😬). Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.
I think these would work fine with almond butter. I find that almond butter can be a little thicker than peanut butter so you may need to add a little more than what is called for in the recipe
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!
