The kids and I were headed to a friend’s house for a play date and I was planning to bring our favorite {caramel corn} and we ran out of time, so I quickly pull out the ingredients for my in a pinch sweet treat-rice krispies! I jazzed these up a bit by adding buttery cookie crumbs and peanut butter! These cookie crumb pb rice krispie treats are the perfect sweet treat to share with friends!
