Now that the weather is turned up, the last thing I want to willingly do is turn on my gas stove to add more heat to my home. It is amazing how even running the stove for just 30 minutes can really add to the sometimes-oppressive temps inside. That is why I am all about the no-bake desserts and snacks during the summer months.

I am sure many of you have made rice cereal bars at some point in your lives. My kids love them and often request I made them when we are low on snacks or when they crave an extra yummy treat.

This past weekend, I was inspired to put my own twist on this REESE’S® PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS® recipe for my kids and let’s just say that they loved them so much!

If you are a fan of peanut butter and chocolate, you will fall head over heels for these candy bar-like treats! Best of all, they are ready in about 30 minutes time from start to finish. Of course, you can have them set longer in the fridge, but they surely are a quick no-bake dessert.
