Kids will love these colorful, crunchy bars from Christie Porter in Shipshewana, Indiana. They’re a fun twist on the traditional marshmallow crispy treats…and because they’re so easy, older kids could whip up a batch on their own!

Next time I make these I will use fewer M & M's. The M & M's started to melt an crack when I was spread the treats. They were very tasty.

I might be going against the grain here, but I thought there were too many m&ms. I used a whole bag, because it was only just over 1 1/ 2 cups. But everyone in the family loved it! I also used the microwave to melt the stuff--super easy. I was surprised how soft it stayed for the two days it lasted!

Very Good. A little harder to mix then rice krispie treats. I used the microwave to melt the butter, marshmallows & peanut butter.

These are so yummy:) I made one modification though; I used Reese's cereal instead of PB Cap't Crunch for a little extra chocolate kick:) I'll definitely make these again!
