Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Cups
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows over low heat, stirring continuously for about 5–7 minutes until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, mixing for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and pour over the warm peanut butter-marshmallow mixture, gently folding together for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners and spoon the Rice Krispies mixture into each liner, pressing down gently to form a compact base.
  5. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, then spoon the melted chocolate over each Rice Krispie cup.
  6. Allow to set at room temperature for about 20 minutes or refrigerate to speed up the cooling process.
