Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, stirring until the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a greased spatula or lightly oiled hands, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Allow to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Once cool, cut the Rice Krispies mixture into 24 equally-sized bars.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip each Rice Krispies bar halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped bars on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or place the bars in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
