Look at those pictures and try not to drool. This dessert is so deliciously good I can't handle it. I've always had a thing for peanut butter rice crispy treats, so when I saw this recipe in my new Baked cookbook, I just couldn't resist making it. Blame it on my sweet tooth.
I carefully gathered all the ingredients, including two chocolate bars (!!!) and got to work constructing the different layers. I have to say it the most work I've ever put into making a rice crispish bar, but man on man was it worth it. Just to give you an idea of the richness involved, first there's a layer of sweetened rice crispy goodness. This is the only layer that I might adjust. I think this layer could have been a bit thicker, to balance out all the chocolate. But that's just me. The next layer was a combination of milk chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Once that's set you top the whole thing off with dark chocolate. Yikes! So much goodness!
This really was an amazing treat. It definitely requires a tall glass of milk to accompany it, but it's a great grown up way to enjoy rice crispies. Pick up the Baked cookbook to get the full recipe. You won't be disappointed.
