Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 ounces Marshmallows
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cups Optional: Chocolate chips or drizzle
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract, stirring quickly.
Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the pot and gently fold the mixture together until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow and peanut butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or clean hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish, ensuring an even thickness.
Optional: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top or drizzle melted chocolate for added sweetness.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing into bars.
