Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp salted butter
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 cups RIce Krispie cereal

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot under medium heat and add butter until it is completely melted.
  • Lower heat to medium low. Add mini marshmallows, vanilla extract and peanut butter. Stir continuously until mixture is combined and marshmallows dissolve.
  • Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies cereal. Fold them into the sticky sauce.
  • Grease a 9' x 9' baking dish and fill it with sticky Rice Krispie cereal. Avoid pressing down on Rice Krispie Treats because we don't want to pack it in – it will make it hard to cut into pieces.
  • Let it sit for 30 minutes. Cut into 9 square pieces.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Alternatively, a 9′ x 13′ baking dish can be used as well. It will yield thinner pieces of Rice Krispie Treats.
