Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment and spatula
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
One 18-ounce box peanut butter crunch cereal, such as Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch
1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a piece of parchment paper, leaving 1 inch of paper hanging over each side of the dish. This will help with removing the treats later. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
  • In a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring continuously, until the marshmallows are melted and the butter is incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and quickly add the cereal and peanuts; stir to combine. Transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly coat a spatula with cooking spray, then use it to spread out the cereal mixture evenly.
  • Put the melted chocolate in a plastic sandwich bag (or pastry bag), cut off one corner and drizzle over the top of the cereal treats. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the cereal treats using the parchment paper and cut into 24 bars.

My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CEREAL TREATS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Treats image

These are not your typical cereal treats. The marshmallow mixture that holds these goodies together is lightly flavored with peanut butter and chocolate, and the cereal used is a mixture of Cocoa Krispies and Honey Bunches of Oats. Frankly, I used Honey Bunches of Oats simply because I ran out of Rice Krispies, but I'm enjoying the finished product much better this way. My family gives it eight thumbs up, and I hope yours likes it too!
