Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Salted butter
  • 1 c Smooth peanut butter
  • 16 oz Large marshmallows big bag
  • 5-6 c Rice Krispie’s

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter and peanut butter together over medium heat in a large pot.
  • Once melted add marshmallows but reserve 15 marshmallows to add later.
  • Continue stirring to keep the bottom from browning.
  • Once the marshmallows have fully melted add the Rice Krispie's one cup at a time stirring each time.
  • Stop at 5 cups and assess if your treats are wet enough. If you want them a bit drier add another cup.
  • Once mixed add the 15 reserved marshmallows and stir.
  • Pour out into a parchment lined or buttered 9x13 dish.
  • With wet hands press the mixture into the dish gently. You don't want to compact the Rice Krispie's too much or they'll get dense.
  • Let rest for 30 minutes then slice and serve.
