Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and gently fold everything together using a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or lightly greased hands, press the mixture evenly into the dish. Be careful not to press too hard, as this will make the treats too dense.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature until the chocolate is set, about 1-2 hours, or place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, cut the treats into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy!
