Description

A simple, cozy dessert with layers of crunchy Rice Krispies, gooey marshmallow, and rich peanut butter, topped with smooth chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows (or 7 cups regular, melted)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for firmness)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (helps melt chocolate smooth)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your pan by lining a muffin tin with paper liners or spraying a 12-cup silicone mold.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Quickly fold in Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
  4. Scoop the mixture into prepared liners, pressing gently to form a firm base and shallow cup shape. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Mix peanut butter with powdered sugar (if using) until smooth. Spoon into each cup and spread to cover the base. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set slightly.
  6. In a small bowl, microwave chocolate chips with oil in 20-second bursts until smooth. Spoon chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading to the edges.
  7. Chill the tray in the fridge for 20–30 minutes until chocolate firms. Remove liners and serve.

Notes

For thicker cups, use a smaller muffin tin or double the recipe. Use good-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
