Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Fluffernutter Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats a wonderful! I could eat them by the pan full. I don't....but then again....maybe I do! (You'll never know...but if you guessed I DO...then you'd be right.) I also love fluffernutter sandwiches. You know those totally unhealthy, NOT nutritional sandwiches made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff? Yeah. Those. So I figured why not go all out and combine the two! These turned out fab-u-low-so!!!! Again...I could eat the entire pan. And probably will.

Fluffernutter Rice Krispie Treats



1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
1 10-ounce bag marshmallows (any size)
2 cups mini marshmallows
8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3 - 4 2.5-ounce bags of Mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups (about 2 cups)
1 cup peanut butter baking chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees, then turn it off. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Melt the butter in the microwave in a large microwave safe bowl.

Stir in the 10-ounce bag of marshmallows.

Microwave for 1 minute. Stir.

Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir to smooth.

Pour in the cereal and stir to combine.

Pour in the 2 cups of mini-marshmallows and stir.

Press mixture into the prepared pan with greased hands. (I spray cooking spray on my hands.)

Sprinkle the top with the peanut butter chips.

Place in the warm oven for about 10 minutes until the baking chips are soft and can be spread like frosting.

Sprinkle peanut butter cups over the top of the melted baking chips, distributing evenly and pressing the cups down gently onto the top of the RKT.

Allow to cool and firm.

Cut into squares.

Here's what you need.
