Peanut Butter and Jelly Rice Krispies

I was cleaning my pantry today and making a grocery list of my staples. I found half empty or is it half full box of Vanilla Rice Krispies and a lonely bag of Marshmallows leftover from our camping trip. I decided to suprise my kids with tasty after-school treat.


I didn't want to make just ordinary everyday Rice Krispies Squares so I looked around and saw almost empty jar of grape jelly and a jar of smooth peanut butter.

That gave me idea for tasty Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Rice Krispies Squares.

Since my older son is Type 1 diabetic I need to know the nutritional value of everything he eats. Thanks to that this recipe also includes a nutritional value per Rice Krispies Square. For all my meals made from scratch I use nutritional value calculator from Sparkpeople.

Ingredients:

6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal250g Marshmallows (1 small package)1/4 cup Margarine or Butter3/4 cup Smooth Peanut Butter6 Tbsp Grape Jelly

Follow the basic Rice Krispies Squares recipe from the Rice Krispies cereal box.

Using buttered spatula press half of the mixture into buttered 13x9" pan. Keep the other half in the pan and on the warm stove so it won't get to hard to spread.

Spread the peanut butter on top of the bottom layer of Rice Krispies Squares, then spread grape jell on top of it. Cover with top layer of the Rice Krispies mixture. Press down.

Let it cool and cut into 20 squares.
