Instructions

• Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. 
• In a large saucepan melt the butter, mini marshmallows and peanut butter together over low heat while stirring gently.  
• Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies.
• Press the mixture into the pan (lightly spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray to avoid the mixture sticking to your hands).
• Add the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) to a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Microwave for 45-second intervals on medium power (not high or standard), stirring in between each burst.
• Once almost melted, stir until smooth and stir in the vegetable oil.
• Pour the chocolate over the top of the bars and let harden at room temperature (about 2 hours).
• Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

For softer, gooier bars - only use 5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies.
