Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Then, spread this mixture evenly onto a greased or parchment-lined sheet of wax paper, pressing it down to form a thin, even rectangle.
- Prepare the Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is completely melted, smooth, and well combined.
- Spread the Filling: Carefully spread the peanut butter and chocolate mixture evenly over the Rice Krispies layer, ensuring full coverage.
- Roll the Mixture: Using the wax paper to assist, roll the Rice Krispies mixture tightly into a log shape, starting from one of the short sides. Make sure the roll is firm and even.
- Chill: Wrap the roll tightly in wax paper and refrigerate for at least one hour or until it is firm enough to slice easily.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge and slice the roll into 1-inch pieces. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delightful snack.
Notes
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with crunchy if preferred for added texture.
- For a nuttier taste, consider adding chopped peanuts on top of the filling before rolling.
- If you don’t have wax paper, parchment paper or plastic wrap can be used to roll and chill the log.
- These treats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.
- Microwaving in short intervals is key to preventing the peanut butter and chocolate from burning.
