Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 Tablespoons butter
  • 10 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×9 (for super tall and thick treats) or a 9×13 (traditional easier to eat) pan with parchment paper or grease with butter and set aside.
  2. Melt 5 Tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat until completely melted.
  3. Add in marshmallows and stir constantly.
  4. As soon as the marshmallows are melted, remove from heat and add salt, vanilla and creamy peanut butter. Stir until smooth.
  5. Add in the rice krispies cereal and stir to combine.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and carefully press the mixture into the pan without compressing them too much. (Be gentle because tightly compressed rice krispie treats are hard–not good)
  7. In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter and coconut oil (measure when melted).
  8. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between until completely melted.
  9. Spread mixture evenly on top of the Rice Krispie treats and allow to set before serving. (you can put the frosted treats in the fridge to speed up the set time)
  10. Enjoy!
