Recipe Sharing: PB Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats

I made these for a picnic today, and they are delicious! Easy recipe and a fun variation on rice crispy treats. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats
Yield: 24 (or fewer if you cut them larger)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 10 oz jumbo marshmallows
  • 3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 6 c. rice crispy cereal
  • 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate

Directions
In large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until fully melted. Stir in the peanut butter until combined. Stir in the cereal until distributed evenly through the marshmallow mixture. Pour out onto a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch rectangular baking dish. Smooth out the top of the treats (I use a sheet of wax paper). Set aside to cool.

After the treats have cooled, melt the chocolate over low heat. Cut the treats into even squares and quickly just shallowly dip the top side of the treats into the chocolate. Turn, chocolate side up, and place in a baking dish or on a rack until set.
