Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter - avoid brands that are labeled as natural/oily
10 oz bag PLUS 1 cup marshmallows
5 cups puffed rice krispie cereal
1 12- ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Super flaky salt - for garnish

Instructions

Prepare a 8×8 or 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray topped with layers of parchment paper that hang over the sides.
Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over low heat and stir in the peanut butter until combined. Add the marshmallows and stir until they’ve just melted into the peanut butter mixture. Remove from the heat and fold in the krispie cereal. Mix gently to fold.
Grease your hands with non-stick spray and mix the krispie mix with a spoon and/or your hands until fully incorporated. Press into the baking dish until it’s flat. Set aside to cool.
Pour the chocolate chips into a glass dish and microwave for 30 seconds then stir. Repeat 3-4 times, stirring after each time you heat until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
Spread the layer of melted chocolate over the top of the cooled krispies. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
Cool or chill until firm - about 1-2 hours, before slicing

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (best texture will be at room temperature).
