Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

By lauramae

Ingredients

• Rice Crispy Treats Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup butter
• 10 oz marshmallows
• 6 cups rice crispy cereal
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (omit if making classic flavor)
• Turkey Decor:
• candy corn
• cashews (split in half, and then broken in two)
• Whoppers (or other round, brown candy)
• black frosting
• red licorice (I used Twizzlers “Pull & Peel”) – or a dried cranberry might work
• more peanut butter for “glue”

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat (with peanut butter if using). When melted, add marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal and mix well.

While still warm, use your hands to form the mixture into small balls. You may need to squish these down slightly so that there’s a flat part on the bottom, in order to help the “bird” balance.  :)

Then use additional peanut butter for “glue” to tack on:

Candy corn (feathers),
Whopper (head),
Beak (cashew),
Little red waddle (licorice

And then use black frosting to make the eyes.
