Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1-cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup marshmallows
  • 2-3 cups Rice Krispies

Note: I started with 2 cups of Rice Krispies in a separate bowl and poured the mixture on top and stirred until they were well coated. I added the 3rd cup based on how much additional mixture there was.

Instructions:

  1. Using a double boiler on medium heat, melt butter and peanut butter.
  2. Add chocolate chips; stir in vanilla when melted.
  3. Add marshmallows; stir until melted and well blended.
  4. Remove from heat and cool the mixture slightly.
  5. Add Rice Krispies, stirring until coated.
  6. Using a spatula, press into a buttered pan.
  7. Cool and then cut into squares.

Tip from Nana: Using a piece of paper towel, place over a couple of fingers and dab into butter and spread into the pan. Less mess!
