#511: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cocoa Krispie Treats


I decided to make this recipe for book club because I had all of the ingredients on hand and was looking for a recipe to use up our vast abundance of marshmallows leftover from Christmas activities. This was super yummy!  I loved the addition of peanut butter into the rice krispies!

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
10 ounces marshmallows
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 cups cocoa krispies

Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Stir in the marshmallows and cook until fully melted and no marshmallow white remains. Stir in the peanut butter until combined, then remove from heat.

Stir in the cereal until distributed evenly through the marshmallow mixture. Pour out onto a lightly greased rectangular baking dish (9 by 13 inches). Smooth out the top of the treats by spraying a spoon with baking spray.
