- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1½ cups mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the peanut butter.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated. Fold in half of the chopped peanut butter cups.
