Peanut butter Rice Krispie treats are a recipe that my mom used to make when we were little. She would never share the recipe with anyone; she wanted it to be her little secret. When she passed away, we found it when we cleaned out her house. Every time I make these Rice Krispies, people go crazy over them. —Laura Wilkey, Jeffersonville, Indiana
