Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Remove the pot from heat and quickly mix in the peanut butter until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Do not press too hard to keep the treats light and chewy.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Add the 3 tablespoons of peanut butter to the melted chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Evenly pour and spread the chocolate-peanut butter topping over the rice krispie layer. Smooth it with a spatula for an even coating.

Step 8

Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.

Step 9

Once the chocolate is set, use the parchment overhang (if used) to lift the treats out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or the desired portion size.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
