Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups mini pretzels
- 0.5 cups peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups candy-coated chocolate kisses (mini size or chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it with a non-stick spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and mini pretzels. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and peanut butter together, stirring constantly until smooth.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and continue stirring until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be sure to work quickly as the mixture can harden as it cools.
Immediately pour the melted mixture over the cereal and pretzels in the large bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down gently and evenly into the dish using a piece of parchment paper or the back of a greased spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture in the baking dish. Use a spoon or piping bag for easier application.
Sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate kisses evenly over the chocolate drizzle. Lightly press down on the candy pieces so they stick. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor.
Allow the dish to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for faster results.
Once set, lift the mixture out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
