Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are gooey, chewy and perfect
twist on the classic Rice Krispies. Made with marshmallows, peanut
butter, and a thick layer of chocolate on top!

Ingredients

1. 1/4 cup unsalted butter
2. 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows about 5 cups
3. 1/2 cup peanut butter
4. 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal*
5. 8 oz chocolate chips about 1 1/3 cups
6. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large saucepan melt the butter, mini marshmallows and peanut butter together over low heat while stirring gently.
3. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies.
4. Press
   the mixture into the pan (lightly spray your hands with non-stick
   cooking spray to avoid the mixture sticking to your hands).
5. Add
   the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) to a medium-sized heatproof
   bowl. Microwave for 45-second intervals on medium power (not high or
   standard), stirring in between each burst.
6. Once almost melted, stir until smooth and stir in the vegetable oil.
7. Pour the chocolate over the top of the bars and let harden at room temperature (about 2 hours).
8. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes
For
softer, gooier bars – only use 5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies. Store in an
airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
