Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 10 oz mini marshmallows (about 1 bag)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, or additional chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the creamy peanut butter until well combined.
- Combine with Rice Krispies: Add the Rice Krispies to the melted mixture, stirring gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands (greased), press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Top the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed rice Krispie mixture, spreading it evenly across the top.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and Enjoy: These bars can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
