Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cereal Bars
Cereal bars, Rice Krispy Squares, Scotcharoos... Whatever you call them, they are a delicious treat!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter half a stick
- 10 oz marshmallow
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 ½ cups puffed rice cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
- In a large pot, fill it with a few inches of water. Place it on your stove top and place a tightly fitting glass bowl over top.
- Turn stove on to medium-low heat.
- Add your butter into the bowl and begin melting it.
- When the butter has finished melting, add in your marshmallows and allow them to melt down. Stir often using a rubber spatula to prevent sticking.
- Next, add in your peanut butter and vanilla. Fully mix into the marshmallows.
- Add your cereal into the sticky peanut butter marshmallow mixture and mix well until everything is fully combined.
- Empty your mixture into a well greased 9x12 baking pan, spread it out evenly and set aside.
- Place a clean glass bowl on top of your pot of water.
- Add your chocolate into the bowl and begin melting it. Stir often using a rubber spatula to avoid burning the chocolate or sticking.
- When the chocolate has fully melted, pour it on top of your cereal mixture in the baking tray and spread it evenly across.
- Cover your tray and place it into the fridge or freezer for one hour. The bars are ready when the chocolate has completely solidified.
- Remove the tray from the fridge and cut the cereal mixture into squares or bars.
- Eat!
Notes
- These cereal bars should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
