Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment and spatula
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
One 18-ounce box peanut butter crunch cereal, such as Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch
1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a piece of parchment paper, leaving 1 inch of paper hanging over each side of the dish. This will help with removing the treats later. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
  • In a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring continuously, until the marshmallows are melted and the butter is incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and quickly add the cereal and peanuts; stir to combine. Transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly coat a spatula with cooking spray, then use it to spread out the cereal mixture evenly.
  • Put the melted chocolate in a plastic sandwich bag (or pastry bag), cut off one corner and drizzle over the top of the cereal treats. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the cereal treats using the parchment paper and cut into 24 bars.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
6 cups puffed chocolate and peanut butter flavored cereal, such as Reese's Puffs
6 cups puffed chocolate and peanut butter flavored cereal, such as Reese's Puffs
2 cups crushed pretzel sticks
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal, pretzels and coconut. Stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small microwave safe bowl for 30-second increments in the microwave, until smooth. Drizzle over the bars, cover and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can make these treats in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the treats, or they will become hard and chewy.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of cereal, such as Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, or Frosted Flakes.
  • You can also add other mix-ins to your treats, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter and chocolate cereal treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these tasty treats in no time.
