Description

A delicious no-bake treat featuring the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter mixed with crispy rice cereal, topped with a layer of melted semisweet chocolate.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 6 cups miniature marshmallows
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Once the butter is melted, add the miniature marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter until it is fully incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Add the crispy rice cereal to the saucepan. Using a rubber spatula, mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter marshmallow mixture.
  5. Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish. Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  6. Melt the semisweet chocolate chips. This can be done in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, or over a double boiler until smooth.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the pressed rice cereal mixture.
  8. Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth to avoid lumps on top.
  • For easier cutting, chill the treats in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
