Equipment

  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces vanilla flavored candy coating broken into pieces for faster melting
  • 15 ounces creamy peanut butter room temperature for easier mixing
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal measured lightly, do not pack
  • 1.5 cups mini marshmallows fresh, not stale
  • 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips place in the freezer until ready to use

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Place the mini chocolate chips in the freezer for at least 5 minutes to firm up.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the vanilla candy coating. Microwave in 30-second intervals at 50 percent power, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies with the melted candy coating and creamy peanut butter. Stir until every flake is evenly coated.
  • Let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and the chilled mini chocolate chips.
  • Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Let the cookies set at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes, or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you want them firmer sooner.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
