Ok, first of all, our sweet Claire had just healed from Croup. And a bad version of it. She's only 16 lbs so to be hit with an extremely bad strain of croup was a big deal. By Halloween it was just a bad cold, so all of the scary not breathing, or troubled breathing had thankfully ended. Two steroids is what it took and I pray it doesn't ever happen again. Croup is quite honestly one of the worst things ever. Anyway, last year I had wanted to dress our oldest up as Rainbow Brite, but I am sooooo glad I waited until this year. Aren't they darling?!
Ok, I know, I'm bragging. But, don't you think everything turned out perf?! The sprite costume of "Twink" was made by Erika from, Pink Suede Shoe.
She's amazing. That's all. Enough Said. Check out her site. Love her. Envy her talent. Go ahead. I already do.
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Corn Syrup
1 1/3 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
4 1/4 Cup Rice Krispes
1 Pinch of Salt
4 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
1 Handful Chocolate Chips
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and evenly combined.
Remove from heat.
Quickly add the salt and cereal and stir to combine thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips and stir again. Wait about 1 min and add the candy, quickly folding the mixture together so as to not smash up the candy.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons onto the sheet. Let cool and devour!

Oh my! chocolate and peanut butter! we used up all our leftover candy already, but this recipe warrants a trip to the grocery store!
What a great idea! I will have to remember this for when I have children because I can't have nuts :( but it looks delicious!
I used to love Raindbow brite! Lovely idea for these treats.
Yummy what a great and easy idea.. And the kids are so cute.
My kids are big-time croup kids, so I know how scary that can be. I'm glad she's feeling better! These adorable Krispies balls are the perfect way to use up that Halloween candy.
Dara, isn't croup the worst?! You have to live it to understand just how scary it is :(
If you take the first part of the recipe with the sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter, when that is done stir in 5 cups of honey nut cheerios, you also get another yummy treat as well.
I'm so glad she's feeling better! And seriously the cutest costumes ever!
This is such a great way to use up that Halloween candy!
What a great idea for leftover candy! We still have more than our fair share left. Costumes are adorable!!

Oh no! I hate croup, SO glad she is better. Those were some of the scariest nights as a mother. Those are the cutest costumes in history!!
Sounds great!!!
must.try.these.soon.
These are so going to go into my recipe book! Darling kids!
Is it weird that I want to throw some oats in there? Maybe for guilt? Who knows.
Has anyone replaced the rice cereal with oatmeal?
If you stop after putting in the rice crispies, put into greased 9x13 pan and while still warm sprinkle a bag of chocolate chips over the top and cover for about 5 mins, and then spread the melted chocolate around the top...
I make these, but just use Chocolate Crispies, Peanut Butter (lots), 1 1/2 bags Marshmallows, 1 stick margarine. YUMMY!!
I wanted to keep liking this but it will only let me press the button once!!!
so yummy and easy!! i meade it for my husbands care package and he loved it!!!
omg those look amazing..... n i LOVE the costumes <3
I just made these wonderful treats and they were amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
1 1/3 creamy peanut butter.... is that 1 1/3 CUPS? or TABLESPOONS?
Yummy! Just a tip: It was easier to chop up the candy after they were in the freezer overnight... from experience using a chopper is the easiest and least messy way, but if they are room temp, you can say MESS! lol
Also, MAKE SURE YOUR COOKWARE IS NONSTICK OR SPRAY IT GOOD!!! Thank God my saucepot is nonstick, but I poured it over the cereal in a mixing bowl... and didn't spray it... MESS!! lol
Who ever has leftover Reese Cups? lol :) Looks yummy.
These look fantastic! I just wanted to stop by and let you know that this will be one of my featured posts on my blog today! Come check it out!!

Just made these. So easy and SO delicious! I used natural chunky peanut butter and Scharffen Berger dark chocolate chips. They turned out great. :)
Thank you so much for sharing!!
I just discovered your blog for the first time and i couldn’t resist these krispies! Reese’s peanut butter cups are my favorite chocolate and I made this for dessert last night. Boy! it was incredible. I just hope there are enough leftovers for me to have for snacks as everyone at home seems to like them too!
