Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Chips:
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or a combination of both)
Nuts and Nut Butter:
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Base and Topping:
- 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the pan by lining an 8×9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, creating generous overhangs for easy extraction. Lightly coat the paper with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a luxurious chocolate base by melting chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, bringing the temperature down to prevent marshmallow melting. This brief resting period ensures optimal texture and consistency.
- Gently fold Rice Krispies and marshmallows into the cooled chocolate mixture. Stir carefully to ensure even distribution, coating each crispy morsel and fluffy marshmallow with rich chocolate.
- Transfer the decadent mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread and press the contents evenly. Smooth the surface to create uniform bars with a professional finish.
- Refrigerate the pan for approximately 3 hours, allowing the bars to solidify completely. The chilling process will transform the mixture into a firm, sliceable treat.
- Once set, carefully lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Place on a cutting board and slice into precise, bite-sized squares ready for immediate enjoyment.
