Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Set it aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter to prevent sticking) to press the mixture evenly into the dish.
If desired, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the Rice Krispies mixture.
Allow the Rice Krispies squares to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set.
Cut into 12 squares or desired sizes and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
