Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips Adds sweetness and smoothness; consider almond bark for a different taste.
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter Provides flavorful richness and binds the ingredients; almond butter makes a great substitute.
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal Delivers crunch and structure; use gluten-free cereal for a gluten-free version.
For the Mix-in
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows Introduces chewiness and sweetness; regular marshmallows can also be used.
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips Enhance sweetness and visual appeal; dark or semi-sweet chocolate offers a richer flavor option.
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips For topping.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • 9x9-inch pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat over low flame, stirring continuously for about 5–7 minutes until smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted mixture over the Rice Krispies. Stir gently to coat evenly and let cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Fold in the mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips, ensuring the marshmallows remain whole and chips are distributed.
  4. Grease a 9x9-inch pan and transfer the mixture, pressing down firmly but gently. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  5. Allow the bars to set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
