Rice Crispie Treats (with or without peanut butter)

So, I know this recipe is usually on the box, but just in case you buy off brand rice crispies or whatever, here it is:

Basic Recipe
3 T butter
1 10 oz package marshmallows (mini's melt faster)
6 cups Rice Crispies

Melt the butter in a saucepan.  Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.  Turn off the heat and stir in the Rice Crispies.  Spread in a 13X9 or 8X8 for thicker treats pan.  (spray your hands with Pam to smooth the top)

Peanut Butter Chocolate
3 T butter
1 10 oz package marshmallows
1/2 c peanut butter
6 cups Cocoa Crispies

Melt the butter in a sacepan, stir in the marshmallows until melted.  Turn off the heat.  Stir in the peanut butter, then add the Cocoa Crispies and stir.  Pour into 13X9 or 8X8 pan and spread.

Sheree, that is so funny that you just posted this because we made rice crispie treats a couple days ago, too! Instead of peanut butter, I added 1/2 a cup of Nutella. (Yes, my diet is totally hating me.)
Nothing is better than a good ol' Rice Crispie treat!!!
