Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 oz marshmallows
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Grease or line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add marshmallows and stir until mostly melted.
  3. Stir in peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Remove from heat and gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  5. Press mixture lightly into the prepared pan without packing it down.
  6. Melt chocolate chips until smooth and spread evenly over the top.
  7. Let set at room temperature until chocolate is firm, then cut into squares.

Notes

  • Use low heat to keep treats soft and chewy.
  • Do not over-press the mixture into the pan or bars will become dense.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a peanut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter
