Ingredients
- 12 12 ounces chocolate chips semisweet, bittersweet or milk chocolate
- ½ ½ cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 3 3 cups crisp rice cereal like Rice Krispies
- 2 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ ½ cup chocolate chips or M&M's
- Mini marshmallows and additional M&M's for garnish
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8X8- or 9X9-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips for one minute. Stir. Then continue to microwave in 30 second increments until the chips are completely melted. Stir in the peanut butter until combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, about five minutes. Add the rice cereal, marshmallows and chocolate chips and/or M&M's. Fold together with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Press additional marshmallows and M&M's into the top of the bars, if desired.
- Let the bars cool and set for 5-6 hours until they are firm and no longer gooey and melty. These bars take a lot longer to set up than the Avalanche Bars, in fact, when I made them, I kept pressing on the top wondering if they would ever set up. Sure enough, after a long enough rest, I finally cut into them (even though they still felt soft on top) and they were gloriously decadent and messy.
- Once the bars are firm and set, cut into squares and serve.
