Crispy Rice Treats

Crispy Rice Treats

4 T. unsalted butter plus extra to butter the pan
10 ounces marshmallows
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 c. crispy rice cereal
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Use the extra butter to coat a 9" x 13" baking dish on the bottom and sides.
Melt the 4 T. butter over low heat in a large pot.  Stir in the marshmallows and cook until melted.  Stir in the peanut butter until combined.  Stir in the cereal until thoroughly combined.  Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the top of the treats, pressing down lightly with slightly damp hands.  Melt the chocolate in the microwave.  Spread the chocolate over the top of the treats.  Set aside to cool or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.  Cut into squares.
