- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place cereal in a large, heat proof bowl. Set aside.
- In a large sauce pan or dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Add the peanut butter and stir until combined.
- Add half of the marshmallows and stir until melted. Add remaining marshmallows and stir until melted and combined.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal and use a spatula to combine. The mixture will be sticky. Once combined, transfer it to the prepared baking dish and press down gently until mostly even on top.

Notes
Storage Information
Are you wondering how long these Rice Krispies Treats last? They’ll keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. You can also freeze them if you’d like to keep them longer. Store treats in layers with parchment paper in between to avoid them sticking to each other.
To Freeze: Wrap treats in wax paper or parchment paper and place in a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Don’t use plastic wrap – they’ll stick to the plastic wrap and you could end up with a mess.
