Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 7 Tablespoons Butter (100g)
- 6 Cups Miniature marshmallows (300g)
- ½ Cup Smooth peanut butter (120g)
- 6 Cups Reese’s Puffs cereal (240g)
Topping
- ⅓ Cup Milk chocolate chips (55g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×10-inch tin with baking paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier once the treats are set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, miniature marshmallows, and smooth peanut butter. Stir occasionally until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour in the Reese’s Puffs cereal. Mix well with a spatula or spoon until the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Press Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the lined tin and press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or clean hands to compact the treats.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the top of the pressed mixture. Gently press the chocolate chips into the surface so they stick as the treats set.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use low heat when melting to avoid burning the marshmallows and peanut butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together well.
- For easier cutting, chill the treats in the refrigerator after setting at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
