Ingredients

Directions

  • In a large, deep saucepan, melt butter over low heat, about 4 minutes. Add mini marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • Add chocolate and cook, stirring, until melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Quickly fold in rice cereal and peanut-butter chips until evenly distributed.

  • Coat a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray; scoop mixture onto waxed paper, forming clusters. Let set, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Notes

To make squares instead of clusters, use a wet spatula and evenly spread mixture into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Let set before cutting with a serrated knife.

You could use almond paste instead of peanut butter.

To LucyDrew, peanut butter chips are just like chocolate chips, but they are peanut butter flavor. They can be found in most grocery stores in the baking aisle.

Try using strawberry marshmallows and white chocolate chips. It is nice change on an old favorite.

I love artistgirl's idea about mixing it up. You could do the strawberry marshmallows with strawberry chips or white chocolate chips...any flavors that go together, really...just look in the baking aisle.

I too would prefer to use peanut butter rather than more chips. Did you do it one on one artistgirl? e.g. 3/4c of peanut butter?

I have used crunchy peanut butter (or smooth, if thats your preference). Also, try diff. chips-butterscotch, dark, even tiny kisses. Marshmallows also come in diff. flavors-strawberry and chocolate. I find them at Walmart or dollar store.
