Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Marshmallow Treats

This is a delicious chocolate and peanut butter cereal treat.  A simple twist on traditional Rice Krispie treats.  Kids love the chocolate and peanut butter combination. These are a great no-bake portable snack!

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbs. butter
  • 16 oz marshmallows
  • 1 box Reese's Puffs cereal 13 oz box

Instructions

  • Melt butter at low-medium heat.  You don't want to brown it.
  • Stir in 16 oz bag of marshmallows.  They will melt into the butter.  Stir continually until the marshmallows are all melted and the mixture is smooth. Turn off stove.
  • Add the full 13 oz box or Reeses Puffs cereal (chocolate and peanut butter flavor, of course!)
  • Press into a 9 x 13 pan (I use a casserole dish)
  • I like to cut the pieces after the cereal treats have cooled a bit but are still warm.

Notes

***tip - Put your hands in a food baggie and spray the outside with cooking spray.  Makes it much easier to press the cereal down.  Your hands don't get as messy
Storage
Room Temperature
- Keep in a sealed zip-type bag or a well-sealed container. I find the cereal treats are good up to about 5 days.
I recommend you do not refrigerate. They get hard and taste stale.
Freezer - I recommend you wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Typically, these types of treats are fine in the freezer for 3 to 4 months.
Make sure to thaw at room temperature (sitting on the counter for about 1 hour). Frozen cereal marshmallow treats are really hard and I wouldn't recommend biting into them.
