A crispy treat packed with peanut butter flavor and M&M’s in every bite!
Reese’s Puffs Cereal Treats
I don’t know where or how it happened, but I am glad purple was added to the Halloween color pallet! I am a sucker for holiday’s, from decorations to sending treats with my son to school. I can’t help it, I go all in! I am equally ridiculous when it comes to making sure the scents in our home match the season.
If you get excited for Halloween like I do, then make sure you make a batch of Halloween Reese’s Cup Brownies or Monster Cookie Bars, too! Or, my reader’s favorite recipe this time of year is Oreo Dirt Cake Cups. They are super popular around Halloween!
These Reese’s Puffs Cereal Treats are fun to make any time of the year. You can leave out the M&M’s or you can change the kind of M&M’s you use!
What You’ll Need:
- 30 Regular Size Marshmallows
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 6 cups Reese’s Puffs Cereal
- 1 1/2 cups Halloween M&M’s
How to Make Reese’s Puffs Cereal Bars for Halloween
- Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, melt 3 tbsp butter.
- Remove from microwave and stir in 30 regular size marshmallows. Return to microwave for 45 seconds.
- Remove from microwave and stir. Return to microwave for additional 45 seconds.
- Remove from microwave and stir in 1 tbsp peanut butter.
- Then stir in 6 cups Reese’s Puffs cereal until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 1/4 cup Halloween M&M’s.
- Press into prepared pan evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Halloween M&M’s on top and press into bars lightly.
Tips:
- Make ahead – You can make these a day ahead, but make sure to serve the following day because they get stale quickly.
- 5 minutes – Letting the mixture sit for 5 minutes gives it a chance to cool before adding the M&M’s. If you add them right away they end up being a melted mess!
- M&M’s – Use any kind of M&M’s you’d like for these!
- Storing – Make sure to keep these covered until ready to serve.
