Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 6 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 7.5 ounce container Marshmallow Fluff
Instructions
- Prep the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal, and lightly grease with nonstick spray. Set aside for later.
- Mix Rice Krispies: Place the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl to prepare for combining with the marshmallow mixture.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Marshmallow Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 4 cups of the mini marshmallows and stir gently until fully melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat, then quickly stir in 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and a pinch of salt if using. Pour this mixture over the Rice Krispies in the bowl. Next, add the 7.5-ounce container of Marshmallow Fluff and the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows, then stir everything together until well combined and evenly coated.
- Set: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased or sprayed), press the mixture evenly into the pan to ensure it holds together nicely. Let the treats set at room temperature for about 15 minutes until firm enough to cut.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal bars and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For easier cutting, let the treats cool completely and use a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances the peanut butter flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; chunky peanut butter will change the consistency.
