Easy Puffed Rice Bars

Puffed Rice Bars are loaded with peanut butter and yummy goodness of honey and can be made in minutes using just 5 ingredients that are in your pantry.

These peanut buttery treats are perfect for an afternoon snack but taste divine enough to serve for an elegant party. 

These are my husband’s all time favorite treat! When we would go for a ride and pick up a treat at our local gas station, he would always choose this. It took me awhile to achieve the quality that he was longing for but I did it!

Tips for making Puffed Rice Bars

• Make sure to press down firmly with parchment paper so that they stick together (and not on your hands).
• Refrigerate the bars for the full hour so they become firm. I know you will want to sneak a bite before that!
• Use a sharp knife to cut through the bars.
• Once cut, store in an airtight container.
• You can drizzle melted chocolate on the bars. My husband is a purist and doesn’t like the chocolate.  You can also stir in some chocolate chips, M&M’s, or even marshmallows to turn these into a fun kid-friendly dessert.
