Kids will love these colorful, crunchy bars. 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! —Christie Porter, Shipshewana, Indiana

Made a couple of changes by adding more peanut butter and marshmallows as I didn't think there was enough marshmallow goo and I used Reese's Pieces rather than M&Ms to notch up the PB flavor. A big hit.

Very good!! They were a HUGE hit. I thought they were a little on the sweet side so one was enough for me for sure.

An absolute hit! I will certainly make these again. The only thing I would change is add more marshmallow-probably double what the recipe calls for.

Good grief. REVIEW THE RECIPE, not your opinion on the nutrition facts or whether kids should eat it or not. Keep those opinions to yourself. I can read and judge for myself, thanks.

Is definitely not diabetic friendly, in fact could be categorized as "diabetic causing". Lots of sugar, GMO's, and basically, junk. Kids don't need this stuff, they need your love and attention. THat being said, I'm sure it tastes yummy.

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!
