Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Rice Krispie Squares

Did you know that Snap, Crackle and Pop were found dead? They're looking for a cereal killer.



Do you want to feel like a kid again? I think eating Rice Krispie treats might make you feel like that. Okay.... it's no fountain of youth. But it is tasty with the addition of chocolate, banana and peanut butter. And let's not forget about the sprinkles.
 
Anyone interested in a mean game of jacks? I was the undisputed Queen in my neighborhood.

How about playing with Barbie? I was 8-years old when this original doll first appeared. I love that she has stood the test of time. My daughter enjoyed playing with her as much as I did. And to this day, if I'm in a toy store, I eventually find my way to the Barbie section.

Now go make some Rice Krispie treats and create memories for your kids or grand kids.

 
Ingredients for base:
6 cups of Rice Krispies
5 cups mini marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter

1/2 banana (2.5 ounces, approximately 1/2 of 1 large one)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Ingredients for topping:
1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 banana (2.5 ounces, approximately 1/2 of 1 large one)
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
sprinkles

Directions:

1. To make base: Place marshmallows, butter, banana, peanut butter and chocolate chips in a non-stick pan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine. Quickly add Rice Krispies and stir to combine. Press mixture into a 11 x 13 pan. Set aside.

2. To make topping: Place marshmallows, butter, banana and peanut butter in a non-stick pan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine. Pour topping over Rice Krispie mixture. Melt chocolate and pour small dots of it throughout the topping. Using a knife gently pull it through the chocolate dots to create a swirl pattern. (I spread it in a thin layer over the topping. And I added sprinkles for a fun touch.)

3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for the topping to set.
