Tagalongs Rice Krispy Treats

By srumbel

The base of these treats are a mix of crushed shortbread cookies and rice krispies to mimic the shortbread crust of Tagalongs. Then there is a thick peanut buttery layer that you may just want to double so there is enough left over for your treats after you are done picking at it. Yum. Think the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. Then on top is a thick chocolate layer. Because you can't have peanut butter without chocolate.

Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 4 cup marshmallows
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cup rice krispies
• 2 cups crumbled shortbread type cookie (any kind works fine)
• 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 tsp oil

Preparation

Step 1

Pour the rice krispies and shortbread cookies into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, turn the heat down to low and add the marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are mostly all melted (this will take a few minutes--low and slow is key for perfect texture) then stir in the vanilla.

Once fully melted, take them off heat and pour over the rice krispies. Stir lightly to combine. Dump the mixture into a greased 9x9 pan.While cooling, beat together your peanut butter and powdered sugar. Spread evenly over cooled rice krispy layer. Let this set up in your fridge for about 15-20 minutes (this just helps when your pour your chocolate on top - it's not necessary to store these in the fridge or anything once you're done).



Melt your chocolate and oil in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between each until fully melted. Pour over chilled rice krispies and allow to harden. Enjoy!
