Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- 0.5 teaspoons flaky sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks so they are evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix as they may melt.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter or sprayed with non-stick spray) to press it evenly into the dish without compressing it too tightly.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the treats.
Step 9
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until they are fully set.
Step 10
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or your desired size and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
