Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

April 3, 2018 By Michelle Barneck 1 Comment

Each Sunday we have family movie night and I whip up a special treat to share. Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispie Treats was the result of one of these sugary sweet experiments. We have some favorites that we make often, but every once in a while we go a little wild and invent something new.Β  We love Oreos dipped in peanut butter, but that is a messy treat to take down to the theater room with little ones so mixing them with a handheld treat was the perfect solution!

The best part is they are so easy! You can whip them up in a matter of minutes. Just use your standard Krispie treat recipe, but replace a cup of the cereal with a cup of crushed Oreos and add in a scoop of peanut butter. Adding peanut butter adds protein which makes them a better snack, right? Ha!

My hubby gave his stamp of approval so I suppose everyone is happy! I hope you’ll try this Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispie Treats recipe and let me know what you think. Having a big glass of milk handy is the best way to enjoy them! Cold and creamy with sweet and crunchy, yes please!

You Were ‘Mint’ for Me-Kix Prize Pack Giveaway

January 3, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 99 Comments

I have never been a big cereal eater. My day usually begins with a glass of Ovaltine or a granola bar when I am on the go, but my boys love cereal. They eat in in the morning, they’ll eat is as a snack, they have even been known to coat ice cream with it. Knowing this, it was no surprise that when Kix sent me a couple of boxes to try, the box of Honey Kix was gone almost immediately after removing it from the shipping box.

Being an advertising major in college, I knew that Kix is “Kid tested-Mother Approved” but there are some interesting breakfast facts I was unaware of. For instance, a new survey from Kix found that 84 percent of parents turn to cereal with milk for a quick and healthy breakfast. I suppose I am a minority. Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than almost any other common breakfast option? I didn’t. In addition, cereal eaters consume less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. I may be converted to cereal after all.

But, anyone who knows me knows I am a treat girl. So, naturally I took the remaining box of Kix and kicked it up a notch. We’re talking a super treat that is totally “Mother Approved.” Not for breakfast of course, but I chose to show the versatility of the cute little corn balls that have been around for oh, 70 years or so.

Let’s go with a Valentines recipes theme using one of my favorite combos of Mint and Chocolate I like to lovingly call (cue the Jewel song)

You Were “Mint” for Me and I was meant for you πŸ˜‰

Ingredients: (makes one heart)

  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate with Mint Morsels or Andes Mints
  • 1/2 cup Kix cereal
  • A few red M&Ms crushed
  • Hershey’s Chocolate Mint candy cane or any candy stick

1. Microwave the morsels stirring often until smooth.
2. Stir Kix into chocolate.
3. Put mixture into heart mold on wax paper covered plate.
4. Put in fridge for a few of minutes until it will hold the heart shape, but is still soft.
5. Break crook of cane so you just have a stick and carefully insert it in to the bottom of the heart. Put something under the stick to hold it in place.
6. Put back in fridge for at least 15 minutes to set.
7. Turn on broiler and hold the heart under it melting the chocolate on the side that was on the wax paper.
8. Sprinkle with crushed red M&Ms.
9. Put back in fridge to set.


Back…………………………………………Front

10. Dress it up however you like. I used a clear treat bag and some Valentine ribbon. Then, I put it by their love note mailbox with a note that said, “You were ‘mint’ for me!”

Little guy was super excited about this Valentine treat!

I’d say it was a success! And I can feel good about it because it had wholesome cereal in it right? πŸ˜‰

Now, because it is the season of love and here at A Little Tipsy we like to

Kix is giving away a β€œKid-Tested, Mother-Approved” prize pack including a floor puzzle, fun learn-to-count flashcards, a sippy cup, a portable snack container and a box each of Original Kix and Honey Kix cereals.

My 3 yr old son was a big fan of the gift pack! Here was what I found this morning after sleeping in. He found his own breakfast. Both box lids were torn open and when he couldn’t open the bag he found a scissor. He even put them in a bowl and then proceeded to yell up the stairs, “Daddy, I got some food!” Way to go kiddo!
