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
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the miniature marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter until it is fully incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
- 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.
- Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish. Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
- 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.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the pressed rice cereal mixture.
- 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.
