8 tablespoonsunsalted butter

2 x 10 ouncemini marshmallows

divided

1 teaspoonvanilla extract

½ teaspoonsalt

⅔ cupcreamy peanut butter

3 cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1

Measure out the rice krispies cereal, set aside 2 cups of the mini marshmallows, and gather the remaining ingredients. Reserve the butter wrapper for later use.

Step 2

For easy removing and cutting, line a 9 X 13-inch pan with two large pieces of foil, criss-crossed. Press the foil up the sides and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining marshmallows (with the 2 cups removed), vanilla extract, and salt. Place the pot back over medium-low heat and stir continuously until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter. Stir in the cereal and the reserved 2 cups of mini marshmallows until evenly mixed. It is okay if the added marshmallows start to melt.

Step 5

Use the spatula to spoon into the prepared pan. Use the butter wrapper to press the mixture evenly, but being careful to no densely compact.

Step 6

Let the bars cool while the chocolate topping is prepared. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments, stopping to stir until fully melted. Use an offset spatula to evenly spread on top.

Step 7

Set at room temperature for the chocolate to cool and harden before cutting. Alternatively, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to harden the chocolate quickly, but do not store in the refrigerator.
