Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'the chocolate cookbook' and that is where this recipe comes from. On my to make list and soon, these sound delicious!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 18 bars

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups rice crispy cereal
  • 115 grams peanut butter MM candies, (4 oz)

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray the foil with non stick spray. Measure out the chocolate chips, MM candies, marshmallows, and cereal.
  • Setup a double boiler, measure and add the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter.
  • Stir often until the chips are melted and mixed into the peanut butter.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir to melt down the marshmallows.
  • The marshmallows will melt down and the mixture will be smooth.
  • If you use a really large sauce pan, just remove from heat and add the cereal and MM candies and mix together, OR, you can do as I did and put the cereal in a large mixing bowl and add the marshmallow mixture on top along with the MM candies. Use two spoons like you are tossing salad and mix the cereal into the marshmallow mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly into the pan. Allow the pan to cool completely.
  • Cut into bars, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

Low cost per serving.

  1. I made these on 21 Jan 2020, and the flavor is excellent, however, some of the bars were crumbly, and I do think that was my fault at taking time for the photos when I should have been mixing while the marshmallow mixture was hot. I will make this again to verify the recipe before making adjustments.
