Ingredients:
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tbsp butter
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1½–2 cups chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Optional topping:
- Melted chocolate drizzle 🍫
- Extra peanut butter drizzle 🥜
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Melt the base
- In a large pot, melt butter over low heat
- Add marshmallows and stir until smooth
2. Add peanut butter
- Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until fully melted and creamy
3. Mix cereal
- Remove from heat
- Fold in cereal until evenly coated
4. Add the magic 🍫
- Let mixture cool slightly (important!)
- Gently fold in chopped Reese’s so they don’t fully melt
5. Press into pan
- Transfer to a greased or lined 9×13 pan
- Press lightly into an even layer
6. Finish
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or peanut butter if desired
- Let set 30–45 minutes, then slice
🔥 Tips:
- Don’t press too hard → keeps them soft, not dense
- Slightly cool before adding candy so you get chunks, not melt
- Grease your hands or spatula to avoid sticking
