Ingredients
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 ½ cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Stir constantly until smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Quickly fold in the mini marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, and crushed pretzels until well coated.
4. Spread the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan and press evenly.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6. Slice into squares and enjoy chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.
Notes
Let the mixture cool just slightly before adding the marshmallows to avoid completely melting them.
Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean slicing.
You can swap pretzels for chopped nuts or use a mix for variety.
