Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately fold in the Cocoa Krispies cereal. Mix well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or clean hands lightly greased with butter, press the mixture evenly into the dish. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Once the Cocoa Rice Krispies layer has cooled completely, spread the peanut butter topping evenly over the top, using a spatula to smooth it out.
Refrigerate the tray for 20-30 minutes to set the topping before slicing into squares.
Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
