(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Desserts

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 16 oz. mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 6 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups coarsely crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges; set aside.

  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and salt and cook, stirring, until the marshmallows are melted and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Add the cereal, crushed graham crackers and chocolate chips and fold with a large rubber spatula to combine.

  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using the spatula to spread it out evenly. Place a piece of parchment on top and then use your hands to press the mixture down very firmly. Let the mixture firm up in the fridge for 1 hour, then cut into squares.
