Rice crispy treats are taken to the next level with a mixture of peanut butter, jam, and chocolate! A sweet and peanut buttery crispy rice cereal acts as the base for a rich and sweet homemade blueberry/raspberry jam. A layer of smooth chocolate is the finishing touch in these treats that are perfect for potlucks or some at-home snacking.
