large pot
Mixing spoon or spatula
8x8 or 9x9-inch pan
parchment paper
Knife
- 3 ½ cups mini marshmallows divided
- 16 ounces melting chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Place the mini marshmallows in the freezer until ready to use.
In a large pot over medium heat, combine chocolate, peanut butter, and butter. Cook, stirring often, until fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Stir the Rice Krispies cereal and 3 cups of the marshmallows into the cooled chocolate mixture. Mix quickly and just until combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup marshmallows over the top.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
Lift from the pan using parchment paper and cut into bars.
- Freeze the marshmallows before adding to prevent them from melting into the chocolate mixture.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes before mixing to help maintain marshmallow texture.
- Bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Melting chocolate was used, but semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips provide excellent flavor as well.
