Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Toppings

  • 3/4 cup mini M&M’s
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the marshmallows melt completely and blend smoothly with the mixture.
  3. Incorporate Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
  4. Fold in Rice Krispies: Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture until every cereal flake is evenly coated.
  5. Mix in M&M’s and Chocolate Chips: Let the mixture cool for 2–3 minutes, then quickly fold in most of the mini M&M’s and mini chocolate chips, keeping a small handful of each aside for topping.
  6. Press into Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and press the mixture firmly into the pan with a spatula or wax paper to create an even layer.
  7. Add Toppings: While the treats are still slightly warm, sprinkle the reserved mini M&M’s and chocolate chips on top and gently press them into the surface.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour until firm before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For cleaner, neater cuts, chill the treats in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before slicing.
  • Using parchment paper to line the baking dish helps with easy removal and cleanup.
  • This recipe is perfect for a quick, no-bake dessert that kids and adults will love.
