Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or a combination of milk and dark chocolate)
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang around the edges. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter, unsalted butter pieces, and chocolate chips. Microwave on medium power in 45-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Cool Mixture: Stir the melted mixture thoroughly to combine. Allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes to prevent melting the marshmallows prematurely.
- Add Crispy and Marshmallows: Stir in the Rice Krispies and mini marshmallows until they are evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly into all corners to form a uniform layer.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 3 hours, or until the bars have fully set and are firm to the touch.
- Serve: Using the parchment paper or foil overhang, lift the set bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.
- Alternatively, keep bars at room temperature for up to 3 days if your kitchen is cool.
- Bars can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
