Ingredients
Peanut Butter Party Treats
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 10 oz bag mini marshmallows or 5 cups
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 ¼ cups Rice Krispies
White Chocolate Coating
- 3 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- sprinkles/candies
Instructions
Peanut Butter Party Treats
- In a 4 quart saucepan, melt butter on low heat, slowly as to not burn.
- Once butter has melted, keep heat on low and add mini marshmallows.
- Once marshmallows begin to soften and melt, add peanut butter.
- Constantly, stir the mixture so the peanut butter does not burn and the marshmallows can evenly melt (won’t take too long, about 5 minutes or so).
- Once, mixture is combined and melted, turn off heat and remove pan from stove.
- Add rice krispies cereal to saucepan and stir until evenly coated with mixture until well combined.
- Spray your hands with some nonstick cooking spray or spray a cookie scoop and pat down the mixture until firmly compacted into balls or shapes desired.
- Place balls on parchment lined baking sheet and let the Rice Krispies air dry for about 30 minutes and/or overnight in a zip-lock bag.
White Chocolate Coating
- Melt chocolate for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Dip one ball at a time and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet you are using already. Add sprinkles and candies! Let chocolate set. Sooo yummy!!
Notes
If you want to thin the white chocolate out a bit, use 1 teaspoon of vegetable or canola oil and mix it into the chocolate.
