Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup (250g) Creamy Peanut Butter
- 10 oz (283g) Mini Marshmallows
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 6 cups (160g) Crisped Rice Cereal
- 1/2 cup (90g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an inch of overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease a silicone spatula with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Place 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter in a large pot over low heat until it is completely liquid and begins to sizzle softly.
- Stir in 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter until the mixture is velvety and fully combined.
- Pour in 10 oz (283g) mini marshmallows.
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly until the marshmallows have just melted into a glossy, pale tan cream.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt into the marshmallow mixture until the texture is velvety and uniform.
- Add the crisped rice cereal to the bowl. Use a lifting and folding motion with your spatula to coat the cereal without crushing the rice grains.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Gently nudge the mixture into the corners with the back of the spatula without pressing down firmly to ensure the treats remain soft.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the treats.
- Allow the treats to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 16 large squares.
