Ingredients
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing the surface with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat until completely liquefied and smooth.
- Add peanut butter to the melted butter and stir continuously until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
- Pour in chocolate syrup and mix thoroughly, creating a rich chocolate-based binding sauce.
- Add mini marshmallows to the warm mixture and stir constantly until they are completely melted and integrated.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately fold in rice cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips, allowing some to melt into the warm mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and press down gently.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips across the top of the treats, creating a decorative and delicious surface.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Once completely cooled, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 even squares.
- Optional: Drizzle additional chocolate syrup in a chevron pattern across the top of the treats for extra decoration.
Tips
- Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Work quickly when mixing ingredients to prevent the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to spread.
- For an extra-indulgent touch, use high-quality chocolate chips that melt smoothly.
- Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For a professional look, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their perfect texture.
- For added flair, experiment with different chocolate chip varieties or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more melted butter or chocolate syrup to achieve the perfect consistency.
- For a fun variation, try using different cereals or adding crushed nuts for extra crunch!
