- Prepare Your Pan: Begin by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Add the Peanut Butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter until it’s fully combined with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Mix in the Rice Krispies: Gradually add the Rice Krispies to the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly.
- Transfer to the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a buttered spatula or your hands (dampened with a little water to prevent sticking), press the mixture evenly into the pan.
- Let Them Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can pop them in the fridge to speed up the setting process.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the treats into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats fresh or store them for later!
