I got this idea on Pinterest (http://justjennrecipes.com/peanut-butter-cheerios-treats/2012/06/10/) and when you go to her site, the pictures alone make you want this treat immediately. Such a unique idea using Cheerios instead of Rice Krispies (which luckily we always have in the house) to make what is essentially a Rice Krispie treat. Being a peanut butter fan, I knew I had to try this recipe. I love the contrast in colors; the caramel colored Cheerios and the rich, black color of the chocolate chips. Not to mention the web of marshmallow holding the whole thing together. And I'm not even a Rice Krispie treat fan! I'll eat them but I never crave them...until now. The crunchy cereal surrounded by the smooth marshmallow with just a hint of peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate made my day. If you like peanut butter and chocolate together, you'll love these tasty treats.
But of course I had to put my spin on them. So after I made her version, I decided to make a batch using Nutella instead of peanut butter. Wow! Love at first bite! If I had peanut butter chips I would have adorned these chocolate treats with them but sadly, we finished them so next time that's what I'll do. I would make either version again anytime and eat the whole batch anytime. They are that good! I hope you'll go to her site and try these delicious treats either with Nutella or peanut butter :)
