Ingredients

2 tbsp butter

5-oz marshmallows

3 cups of rice krispies

Peanut Butter Filling:

1/2 cup butter at room temperature

3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

1 tbsp milk

Chocolate topping:

1/4 cup butter at room temperature

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Lightly grease a 9x9-inch pan.

In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine butter and marshmallows. Heat until butter is melted and marshmallows are soft. Stir to combine. Fold in rice cereal with a spatula, then pour mixture into prepared pan and press into an even layer. Allow to cool and set at room temperature. For the peanut butter layer, combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. The consistency should be like frosting. If it is too crumbly add an additional tablespoon or two of milk until filling is spreadable. Spread onto cereal layer.

For the chocolate topping, melt chocolate chips and butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth. Pour over peanut butter layer and, using an offset spatula or regular spatula, spread chocolate to cover entire surface. Let chocolate set up at room temperature before slicing.
