Ingredients

  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×9 pan (or 8×8 if you prefer thicker bars) and set aside.

  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chips for one minute. Stir.

  3. Then continue to microwave in 30 second increments until the chips are completely melted.

  4. Add the peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir to combine.

  5. Add the Rice Krispies.

  6. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes, stirring now and again.

  7. Add the marshmallows and the mini chocolate chips and stir to combine.

  8. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing lightly with the back of a spoon, taking care not to press too hard or they will be overly compact and it will make the bars dry and tough.

  9. Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips, if desired.

  10. Let the bars cool completely before serving.
