How to Make Peanut Butter Hazelnut Treats

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.

Turn off the heat and fold in in peanut butter and the hazelnut spread. Once combined, gently fold in the cereal until all the pieces are coated.

Tips and Substitutions

Ensure the heat is on low when melting the butter and marshmallows. Too high can easily burn and can make the bars hard.
Once the mixture is poured in the baking dish, don’t pat it down too tightly. Gently press until it forms the shape of the pan.
You can garnish these tasty treats to your heart’s desire. You can add sprinkles, toasted coconut, chopped peanuts and/or colored white chocolate.

Storage

Peanut Butter Hazelnut Treats can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. They will need to completely thaw at room temperature before consuming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use Crispix?

Chex Cereal or Rice Krispies can be used in place of Crispix.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

It’s best to use creamy peanut butter in this recipe. If using crunchy, you’ll need to add 2-3 tablespoons more butter.

Would almond or other nut butter work instead of peanut butter?

Of course! You can substitute the peanut butter with your nut butter of choice. You can add additional butter if the variety you’re using is drier than store-bought jar of smooth peanut butter.

Can I use marshmallow creme instead of marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute the marshmallows with 26oz marshmallow creme.

Are these treats gluten-free?

The ingredients I used as pictured above in “What You’ll Need” are not gluten-free, but you can easily make swaps to make this recipe gluten-free. You can use gluten-free Jif and rice or corn Chex instead of Crispix. Although the package doesn’t say gluten-free, Kraft Jet-Puffed marshmallows ingredient list does not list anything that contains gluten. Check the labels of your specific brands to ensure this.
