Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Rice Krispies
  • 2 cups Crushed Pretzels
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 10 ounces Marshmallow
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch pan or baking dish and set aside.
  • Combine the cereal and pretzels in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add the marshmallows and peanut butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and pretzels in the large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it evenly into the pan.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into squares

Notes

  • If you prefer to use the microwave, you can combine the butter, marshmallows, and peanut butter in a large microwave safe dish. Be sure to stir frequently! I prefer the stove top method because I have memories of exploding marshmallow peeps in my microwave as a kid. I also have memories of cleaning the microwave afterwards.
  • You may substitute any crispy brown rice cereal for Rice Krispies.
