Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows mini or big
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease and line a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. (Grease first as it helps hold the paper down).
- Add the butter to a large saucepan and melt butter on medium heat.
- Next, add the marshmallows to the saucepan and melt, stirring often.
- Add the peanut butter and mix until melted and combined.
- Pour the Rice Krispies into the pan and mix until covered with marshmallows.
- Carefully press the Rice Krispie mixture into the pan (it will be hot).
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for one minute, stirring at the 30-second mark. (Use a heat-safe and microwave-safe bowl).
- Spread the chocolate over the treats and refrigerate to harden the chocolate.
- Pull the treats out on the parchment paper and cut.

Notes
If the chocolate chips are not melted after one minute, stir them again as the chocolate will continue to melt.
For best results with cutting, refrigerate the treats for at least one hour until the chocolate hardens. Then, lift the parchment paper out and slice.
If you don't have parchment paper, you can butter a pan instead.
I used a 5.5 quart saucepan for this recipe.
