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.
