Easy to make treats that are filled with crunchy peanut butter goodness and sweet, marshmallow-y goodness. Vegan recipe with a gluten-free option!
These rice krispie squares are sweet, nutty, crunchy yet gooey and ridiculously moreish.
If you're not avoiding gluten, you can just use regular Rice Krispie cereal but to make these gluten-free, I used Nature's Path Crispy Rice cereal.
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter is of course down to preference but I really recommend the crunchy kind in this recipe to give another texture and extra crunch.
