Equipment

9x9 inch pan
saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 6 cups mini marshmallows or 280g, or a 10 ounce bag
  • 1 cup crisp rice cereal Rice Krispies

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overage on two ends.
  • In a large pot, melt peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter over medium low heat until just melted.
  • Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add mini marshmallows and crisp rice cereal.
  • Stir until the chocolate sauce covers the marshmallows completely.
  • Fold into prepared pan. Cool completely. I refrigerate so the bars are completely firm before slicing.
  • Using a knife, cut along the edge without the parchment paper to loosen from the side. Then using the parchment paper on each end, pull the squares up and out of the pan.
  • Place onto a flat surface or cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into desired sized pieces.

Notes

  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze between layers of wax paper for up to 2 months.
