- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil divided

- Drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over each Rice Krispie Treat, then transfer to the fridge to set the chocolate before enjoying.
