Ingredients
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- ½ cup natural peanut butter we like salted
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 cups Rice Krispies
- ½ teaspoon Flaky sea salt
Chocolate Topping
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Grease the sides and bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter. (See notes) Melt the marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a large bowl in your microwave. (You can also do this step in a pot on low heat.)
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla. Add Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
- Transfer to the buttered baking dish and press down into the pan. (Lightly greasing your hands with butter helps prevent sticking.)
- Add the chocolate and oil to a small bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Pour the chocolate over the Rice Krispie treats. Let the chocolate cool and harden slightly then sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
- Once the chocolate has hardened completely, remove the treats from the baking dish and cut it into squares.

Notes
- If you know that your baking dish tends to be sticky, you can line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper so the squares don't stick.
