Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups rice krispie cereal
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal; lightly grease the parchment if desired.
- Measure 6 cups rice krispie cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter, stirring so it doesn’t brown.
- Add the 10 oz marshmallows to the melted butter; stir constantly until they’re completely melted and smooth, about 2–4 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the hot marshmallow–peanut butter mixture over the rice krispie cereal. Fold gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press the mixture into the pan using buttered hands or a greased spatula.
- Let the pan cool completely at room temperature for 1–2 hours until set.
- Lift the treats from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
