I love Rice Crispy treats, always have. Grew up on them and raised my own kids on them. They’re an amazing gluten-free dessert anyone can enjoy!
This particular dessert was born while I was learning how to make caramel and needed to make a gluten free dessert for a new mommy. When you’re teaching yourself how to make caramel, you tend to have a lot of it sitting around and the thought of adding caramel to the top of a rice crispy sounded amazing. But wait, there’s more! Our family loves peanut butter, and we mix it into a lot of different things because we love it. So of course, we add peanut butter to our crispy treats. But wait, there’s MORE!! How about topping this beauty with dark chocolate??!! Voila, history was made!
