Ingredients
¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter
-
½ cup (135g) creamy Once Again Creamy Peanut Butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
8 cups mini marshmallows (about 1 ½ 10-ounce bags), divided
7 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup green, yellow and white-covered chocolate candies
Directions
Coat a 9x9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray, then add a piece of parchment, pressing into the bottom and up one set of sides to create a “sling.”
Set a large saucepan over low heat and add the butter and peanut butter. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt and 7 cups marshmallows. Mix with a rubber spatula until ingredients are combined. Stir in remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows and the cereal and mix to combine. Add the candy, give a few big stirs, then transfer mixture to the prepared pan.
Press crispy rice mixture into the pan and let cool completely before removing and slicing into squares.
