Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the pot from heat and immediately fold in the Cocoa Krispies cereal. Mix well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or clean hands lightly greased with butter, press the mixture evenly into the dish. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Once the Cocoa Rice Krispies layer has cooled completely, spread the peanut butter topping evenly over the top, using a spatula to smooth it out.
Step 7
Refrigerate the tray for 20-30 minutes to set the topping before slicing into squares.
Step 8
Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
