Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 10 cups Mini marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 cup Melted milk chocolate (optional for drizzle)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the creamy peanut butter until well combined with the marshmallow mixture. Add a pinch of salt for flavor balance.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently with a spatula until the cereal is completely coated in the marshmallow mixture.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down gently with a spatula to create an even layer. Be careful not to compress it too much, as this will make the treats too dense.

Step 8

If desired, drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top of the treats for added richness.

Step 9

Allow the Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut the treats into 12 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
