This post is a repost from last year, but seeing as how this recipe, no matter what I do this recipe remains number one, I thought it would be a good idea to bring it back to life. I’ve left the original post on here, but I did add updates to the recipe as we make it a little different these days.
Who has left over Halloween candy?! I know I do. I was trying to think up a delicious way to enjoy all of that candy other than just eating piece by piece and I came up with these. Oh! I think I forgot to even tell you about Halloween!
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?!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Corn Syrup
- 1 1/3 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4 1/4 Cup Rice Krispies
- 1 Pinch of Salt
- 4 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (we use 6)
- 1 Handful Chocolate Chips (we use 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- 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!

I realize this post is over a year old now, but I just ran across it on pinterest and had to say that sprite costume is the cutest stinkin' thing I have seen in quite a while! Oh my goodness.

We make these with Special K cereal and just add a square of Hersey choc. on top right after you drop them by the spoonful. Have to wait to let the chocolate dry then can move them.
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
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!!
[Reply]

Who ever has leftover Reese Cups? lol
Looks yummy.
[Reply]
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
[Reply]
1 1/3 creamy peanut butter…. is that 1 1/3 CUPS? or TABLESPOONS?

I wanted to keep liking this but it will only let me press the button once!!!
[Reply]
I make these, but just use Chocolate Crispies, Peanut Butter (lots), 1 1/2 bags Marshmallows, 1 stick margarine. YUMMY!!
[Reply]
If you stop after putting in the rice crispies, put into greased 9×13 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…

Has anyone replaced the rice cereal with oatmeal?

[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
Dara, isn't croup the worst?! You have to live it to understand just how scary it is
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
Yummy what a great and easy idea.. And the kids are so cute.

I used to love Raindbow brite! Lovely idea for these treats.
[Reply]
