Ingredients
- 6 cups Reese's Puffs cereal
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for chocolate drizzle)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to low and stir in the mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the pot from heat and quickly mix in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined with the melted marshmallows.
Step 4
Add the Reese's Puffs cereal to the pot and gently fold the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your lightly greased hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan, making sure it's compact and level.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it slightly.
Step 7
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cereal bars in a zig-zag pattern or spread it over the top in an even layer, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 20-30 minutes.
Step 9
Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang or loosen the edges with a knife. Cut into 12 squares or bars and serve.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
