I have pie dough in the fridge, pies in the oven, a defrosted turkey and partially prepped veggies in various places around the kitchen. With all the holiday meal prep that we've been doing (I know I'm not the only one), something delicious, but simple, sounds really good right about now. Those pies aren't going to be fair game until tomorrow night. Thankfully, Allie, from Something So Clever posted some really tasty sounding Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Rice Krispies. The addition of peanut butter to the standard rice krispie recipe makes them a little bit more interesting. Adults will like them because the peanut butter adds a new salty-sweet dimension to the flavor and kids will like them because they almost all like rice krispie treats. Speaking of kids, these are so easy to make that if you have any kids around at the holidays, you can assign them the job of making a batch to keep them out of your hair as you work on the main meal.

This looks like one of those really cool recipes where, if you're feeling chi-chi, it would be easy to swap out the two key ingredients (the nut butter and the chips) for different combinations, like cashew butter and white chocolate icing, or almond butter and cinnamon-chip icing.

My mom has made these for years, though she uses butterscotch and corn flakes, and much much more chocolate chocolate. She calls them Scotcheroos.
