Crispy and crunchy, chewy and peanut buttery, these Rice Krispies no bake cookies with Reese’s pieces are a super quick and easy no bake treat.
Everyone has that one kid who “forgets” to tell them about a fundraiser or class party, right? It’s usually the night before that they waltz up and tell you that they need three dozen cookies the next morning before school. No bake peanut butter cookies are a great way to let your kids get involved with cooking a sweet treat and teach them some kitchen responsibilities along the way.
These unique Rice Krispie no bake cookies will be a hit at any bake sale or family get together. No Bake cookies are a classic sweet that everyone in your family will enjoy. There are so many no bake cookie varieties; oatmeal no bake cookies, corn flake no bake cookies, coconut no bakes. But let me tell you Rice Krispies are good for more than just your standard old rice krispie treats! They give no bake cookies a great texture with that extra special crackle. The smooth Reese’s pieces are a nice touch that will make your cookies stand out from the rest of the no bake crowd, and the creamy peanut butter mixture will satisfy your peanut butter cravings.
