Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 as needed cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the pot and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until evenly coated.

Step 6

Quickly add the peanut butter chips and gently mix them into the cereal mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as the chips may begin to melt slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a greased spatula or clean hands lightly coated with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Press the mixture gently into the dish to create an even layer, but do not compress it too firmly as this can make the treats too dense.

Step 9

Allow the Rice Krispies Treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
