Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 package miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Butter a 13x9 baking dish and put it to the side. In a large saucepan set over medium low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, stirring the whole time, and cook until they are fully melted. Take the pan off the heat, then mix in the Rice Krispies Cereal.
- Transfer the Rice Krispie Treats to the prepared baking dish, then smooth them into an even layer with a buttered spatula. In a microwave safe bowl, stir together the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat the mixture on HIGH power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is melted and smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispie Treats, spreading it evenly across the top. With a fine mesh sieve, dust the powdered sugar over the chocolate layer. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
