juliet had it right

Naming is overrated. As far as I know, the treats I'm about to reveal to you have no official moniker, but that doesn't stop them from being completely addictive and delicious. Nope, it doesn't slow them (or my intake of them) down at all.


"What's in a name?" indeed.

All it takes is one glance at the list of ingredients to know that this is some good candy. It has sweetness, it has crunch, it has saltiness, it has chewiness, and it melts in your mouth.


I've found that the making of this candy can either be tedious or a fun challenge, depending on my attitude at the time. If you work quickly, the mess and overall difficulties are no big deal at all, especially considering the tasty end results.

Good Candy
4 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup peanut butter
2 pounds white chocolate, chopped

In a large bowl, combine the cereal and marshmallows. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and peanut butter. Stir the oh-so-drinkable white chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the dry goods and drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Let them set until firm and then store in an airtight container.

  7. What's this? Krispy treats with chocolate and pb?? Wow, Grace. You've really created a gem here. Who cares what you call it? There isn't a kid of any age who won't love these.

  8. Sounds like you have yourself a no-name winner! It's morning and so I suppose I can justify having cereal covered in chocolate for breakfast. :)

  9. Oh.My.Goodness! I am actually eating Reese's Pieces as I read this. I LOVE peanut butter. This sounds oh so good. I might have to make it with dark chocolate though, not so much of a white choc fan, except when used in baking. But everything else sounds perfect :)

  11. Moan. I'm so drooling right now. I think some pretzel bits should be added to this. To get that sweet and salty vibe going :P

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ooo, this looks like just the sort of thing I would shove in my face every time I walk by the kitchen. Self control, out the window. And for that reason alone, I must make this! ;)

  33. I just inherited a 1954 community cookbook from Douglas, Georgia, and it is jam packed with old school candy recipes. I can't wait until Christmas so I can start some serious holiday baking.

    What's the origin of these delicious looking treats?

    ReplyDelete
