Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treats

I stumbled across this recipe at busycooks.com, and thought how nice it would be to have these treats waiting for the kids when they come home from their 1st day of school!  Everyone love peanut butter and everyone loves rice krispy treats, so what a great combination!  And it's so quick and easy to do.  Enjoy!
