Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the peanut butter until it is fully combined with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add the puffed rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press the mixture down evenly using a buttered spatula or wax paper. Do not pack too tightly, or the treats will be hard.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting into squares, about 1 hour.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract when you mix in the peanut butter.
- If you prefer a firmer treat, reduce the amount of peanut butter to 3/4 cup.
- To make chocolate topped bars, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and spread over the cooled bars before cutting.
