This recipe is a treat. I used butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter chips!
WOW!!!!
Tasty. A nice spin on rice crispy treats. Even better the next day!
You could use almond paste instead of peanut butter.

We don't have peanut butter chips in Australia - can you suggest anything else to use instead???

To LucyDrew, peanut butter chips are just like chocolate chips, but they are peanut butter flavor. They can be found in most grocery stores in the baking aisle.

Shannelly, what about toasted peanuts?
Try using strawberry marshmallows and white chocolate chips. It is nice change on an old favorite.
What ingredient did you replace with the peanut butter?
I love artistgirl's idea about mixing it up. You could do the strawberry marshmallows with strawberry chips or white chocolate chips...any flavors that go together, really...just look in the baking aisle.

I too would prefer to use peanut butter rather than more chips. Did you do it one on one artistgirl? e.g. 3/4c of peanut butter?
I have used crunchy peanut butter (or smooth, if thats your preference). Also, try diff. chips-butterscotch, dark, even tiny kisses. Marshmallows also come in diff. flavors-strawberry and chocolate. I find them at Walmart or dollar store.

FUN IDEA...KIDS LOVE THE CHOCOLATE/PEANUT BUTTER TASTE...BUT ITS A LOT EASIER IF YOU JUST USE COCOA KRISPIES.....DID BOTH WAYS...AND THEY WERE JUST AS GOOD....
