Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 c peanut butter
- 1 bag mini marshmallows 10oz
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 c. crispy cocoa rice cereal
- 1 c. Mini peanut butter cups or chopped regular peanut butter cups
- 10 oz dark chocolate melted
- Candy Eyes optional, or any other sprinkles
Instructions
Make the Rice Krispie Treats
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with wax paper and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, add the butter, peanut butter, and mini marshmallows.
- Stir frequently and cook until the butter, peanut butter, and marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Add in the vanilla and stir again.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the crispy cocoa rice cereal and peanut butter cups.
- Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Using a lightly greased spatula or another piece of wax paper, gently press the mixture evenly into all four corners of the pan.
- Press a few additional mini peanut butter cups into the top, if desired.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate.
Dip in Chocolate
- Cut the chilled cereal treats into 24 pieces.
- Dip the bottom edge of each treat into the melted dark chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-dipped treats on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Before the chocolate sets, add candy eyes and/or sprinkles.
- Return the treats to the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely hardened.
- If you're short on time, you can place them in the freezer to help the chocolate set, but don't leave them there for more than 15–20 minutes.
Notes
- Candy eyes and sprinkles are completely optional and can be changed depending on the occasion.
- Mini peanut butter cups can be replaced with chopped regular-size peanut butter cups.
- For the easiest spreading, lightly grease your spatula before pressing the cereal mixture into the pan.
- Don't overcook the marshmallow mixture. Remove it from the heat as soon as everything is completely melted.
