Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (divided)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces mini marshmallows (about 8 cups)
  • 6 cups Cocoa Krispies Cereal

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. To a large pot over medium-low heat, add chocolate chips, 0.75 cup peanut butter, and butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
  3. Add marshmallows, stirring frequently until melted. Once melted, remove from heat.
  4. Spray a clean rubber spatula with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Using the spatula, fold in the Cocoa Krispies cereal. Stir until well-coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it into an even layer.
  6. Add the remaining 0.25 cup peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 20-30 seconds. Drizzle over the bars.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes before cutting and serving.
