Kellanova — the company behind Pop-Tarts, Pringles, and Cheez-Its — is debuting a brand new way to enjoy one of the country’s favorite snacks: Rice Krispies Treats.

Starting this spring, you’ll be able to snag a box of Rice Krispies Treats Chocolatey Peanut Butter at your favorite snack purveyor. And it’s a brand-new, sweet-and-salty version of the iconic cereal bar.

Rice Krispies Treats is a snack that has survived the test of time. The Kellogg company introduced it in 1939 as a way to promote Rice Krispies cereal, although the snack was already being made in home kitchens at sleepovers long before that.

The brand says that chocolate peanut butter has been at the top of Rice Krispies Treat fans’ wish lists for a while now, making the launch of the new flavor a bit of a no-brainer for the company.

To make the snack, real peanut butter is added to the traditional cereal and marshmallow mix, while chocolate is layered on the bottom of each treat. Much like the classic version, each snack is packaged individually. But while the traditional Rice Krispies Treats come in blue packaging, Rice Krispies Treats Chocolatey Peanut Butter packages are split down the middle, with one side in seminal blue and the other in orange — adorned with an image of a dollop of peanut butter and a small brick of chocolate.
