Peanut Butter/Butterfinger Rice Krispies Treats


I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Easter holiday weekend and were able to spend time with those you love! Did you try any of the Operation Easter Dinner recipes? Let me know if you did and how they turned out!

Today's recipe falls into the category of, "Make this once and be prepared to have cravings at any time. Do not keep ingredients on hand lest you are tempted to succomb to those cravings on a weekly basis and thus look like a house." It is a mouthful, I know, but they are really that good. Promise. Enjoy!

5 cups crisp rice cereal
5 Tbsp. butter (the real stuff, NOT margarine!)
10-oz. bag of marshmallows
1/2 c. peanut butter
8 miniature Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

Melt butter over low heat, then add marshmallows.
Stir until marshmallows are completely melted and then remove from heat.
Stir peanut butter into melted marshmallows until throroughly combined (at this point the stuff smells so amazing that you want to eat it right then without adding anything else!)
Add cereal and candy bars and stir until cereal is completely coated.
Pour into a greased 13x9-in. pan and press down with a spatula that has been coated with cooking spray.
Let cool completely (that's the hard part!), cut into squares and serve.
