Preparation and Cooling

Prepare for a hands-on treat-making experience with a delicious reward at the end.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooling Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 12 slices

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup of melted butter
  • 10 ½ ounces of mini marshmallows
  • 5 ½ cups of Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 ½ cups of milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup of peanut butter
  • Seasonal sprinkles (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Rice Krispies Mixture: In a 6-quart kettle, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and allow them to melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting. Once the marshmallows are melted, add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  2. Form the Base: Grease a 10 ½ x 15 ½-inch baking sheet and spread the Rice Krispies mixture evenly across it. Press down with a greased spatula to compact the mixture into a thin layer.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Add the Chocolate Layer: Spread the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture evenly over the Rice Krispies base. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly.
  5. Roll the Treat: Once the chocolate has set but is not hard, loosen the edges of the Rice Krispies layer with a metal spatula. Starting from the long side, carefully roll the sheet into a tight log.
  6. Garnish and Cut: Sprinkle the roll with seasonal sprinkles for a festive touch. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick slices to serve.

Tips

  • Make sure to grease your hands and the spatula to prevent sticking when spreading and rolling the mixture.
  • If the chocolate-peanut butter layer begins to harden before you roll the treat, gently reheat it in the oven at a low temperature to soften.
