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.

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 peanut butter: Fresh peanut butter will give your cereal treats a richer flavor and a creamier texture.
- Don't overcook the mixture: The mixture should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick or it will be difficult to stir.
- Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the cereal: This will help prevent the cereal from getting soggy.
- Use a variety of cereals: You can use any type of cereal you like, but a combination of different cereals will give your treats a more interesting texture and flavor.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can top your cereal treats with anything you like, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, or dried fruit.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter cereal treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover cereal and peanut butter, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of peanut butter cereal treats that the whole family will enjoy.
