Steps:
- Grease the sides and bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter.
- Melt butter and marshmallows in a large pot over medium low heat. Stir occasionally. Once melted add the peanut butter, vanilla and salt and stir until the peanut butter has melted. Add Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
- Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Wet your hands and give them a shake to remove some of the water. With your damp hands (this will prevent the mixture from sticking to them) gently pat down into the baking dish. Do not press down too hard.
- Set aside on the counter or in your fridge to cool for an hour, until set. Cut into 9 squares.
- Melt the chocolate in a small pan over medium heat. Dip 1 side of each square into the chocolate and set aside on a piece of parchment paper. Allow chocolate to harden for a few hours before eating. Or dig right in and use the chocolate as a dip :)

PEANUT BUTTER-MARSHMALLOW RICE KRISPIES SQUARES
This can be made on top of the stove or in the microwave using a large heat-proof bowl --- this recipe is pretty much fool-proof so don't worry about exact measurements, the frosting drizzle is only optional, I most always double the recipe and spread into a 13 x 9-inch pan, throw in some salted chopped peanuts also! :)

Tips:
- Choose a peanut butter that you enjoy the taste of. A creamy peanut butter will give you a smoother texture, while a crunchy peanut butter will give you a more textured square.
- If you don't have any crispy rice cereal, you can make your own by toasting rice in the oven. Just spread the rice out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown.
