Equipment
- 9x13 Baking pan
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Saucepan
- Non-stick spray
- Microwave safe bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup mini Reese’s halved
- 1 cup mini pretzels crushed
- ½ cup milk chocolate melting wafers or chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Leave some excess hanging over to make removal easy. For best results, spray foil with nonstick spray.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and combined.
- Add the marshmallows and stir frequently until completely melted. Remove from the heat.
- Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down gently into an even layer. Let cool at room temperature until set, about 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting board.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top, then sprinkle the halved mini Reese’s and crushed pretzels.
- Let the chocolate set completely before cutting into squares or bars.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, spray a spatula with a bit of cooking spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Use dark chocolate or add flaky sea salt on top for a little extra flavor if desired.
