Creating Peanut Butter and Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats is simple when following these steps:
1. Prepare Your Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
3. Mix in Peanut Butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until well combined.
4. Add Vanilla and Salt: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
5. Incorporate Rice Krispies: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the cereal is completely coated.
6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it evenly into the pan using a spatula or your hands. Make sure it is tightly packed.
7. Melt Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth.
8. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
9. Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
10. Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
