Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Pour your Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
  • Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is thick and glossy.
  • Immediately pour the mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated, being careful not to crush it too much.
  • Transfer the coated cereal into an 8×8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang. Press the mixture into an even layer using a spatula.
  • Dust the top with ¼ cup powdered sugar, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Use the parchment paper overhang to remove the bars from the pan, then slice into equal sized squares for serving!
