The recipe that I have includes 2 cups of salted peanuts added with the rice krispies. I made these for Christmas with rave reviews.

I brought these to a pot luck for work and they were gone in a flash!! Everyone loved them and I have to bring the recipe in for several ladies. Thanks for the terrific recipe!

This was very good but kind of rich! I didn't have peanut butter chips but I had a combo bag of peanut butter and chocolate chips. It gave it a funky taste that I don't recommend so next time I'm sticking with the peanut butter chips! It made a decent amount to share with a group!

I think i made a mistake in doing the crust part of this recipe but they still turned out awesome. My crust actually baked up like cake it was not crumb like, but we loved it still the same. My husband loved this will definitely be making this again.
