Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.25 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir frequently until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined with the marshmallow mixture. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until evenly coated and the cereal is fully combined with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula lightly greased with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and gently press them into the surface of the squares.

Step 8

Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set and firm enough to cut.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
