A sweet treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with the satisfying crunch of crispy rice.
Ingredients
Scale:
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup marshmallows (mini or regular)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of smooth peanut butter together, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of marshmallows to the melted mixture and stir until completely melted and incorporated, about 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar until well combined.
Gently fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until all the cereal is coated.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and pour the mixture into the pan, pressing it down firmly and evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the pressed Rice Krispie treats and spread it out evenly.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Once set, cut the treats into squares or rectangles and serve.
