Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares

Two things you need to know about this recipe: 1) I adore SOFT marshmallow squares & this recipe fully embraces that, and 2) It contains nuts. If you’re OK with those two features, then take a peek, try it out and enjoy!

Ingredients:

•  8 tbsp (1/2 cup) butter
• 5-6 cups of mini white marshmallows
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• multicolored mini marshmallows (I just eye balled this, but at least 1 cup)
• optional: colorful sprinkles for the holidays

I do two things to prep:

1. Measure out all the Rice Krispies cereal into a large bowl & set aside
2. Rub a bit of butter on inside of my 9″x 12″ glass Pyrex dish & set aside

1.  In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat, stirring frequently.
2.  Add all the white marshmallows, stirring constantly.
3.  As the marshmallows begin to melt, add in the peanut butter and vanilla & continue to stir.
4. Remove from heat BEFORE all the marshmallows have melted.
5. Working quickly, pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted marshmallows. Stir. Add in the multi-colored marshmallows (optional: add sprinkles at this time). Stir until fully mixed.
6. Pour mixture into 9″ x 12″ glass dish
7. Using a plastic spatula, press mixture into dish, spreading evenly.
8. Let cool.
9. Cut up into squares {and try not to eat them all in one sitting}!
