Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until they have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Turn off the heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a greased spatula or your hands lightly coated with cooking spray.
Let the Peanut Butter Krispies Treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Cut into 12 equal-sized squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
