How should I store these rice Krispie treats?

Keep the bars in a sealed Ziploc bag or an airtight container .

How long do these treats last?

Store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze for up to 3 months.

You mentioned camping, how do you pack and store these for camping?

I make these one week in advance of our trip, seal them in an airtight container and put them in the freezer. Then I pack them in our cooler for our trip- they are seriously the perfect dessert for camping!

Can I add other mix-ins?

Absolutely! The sky is the limit, see above for ideas!

Can I eat these straight out of the fridge?

They are a delight straight from the fridge- cold and dense and chewy. However, sometimes I like them at room temperature as they are more of a softer, gooey treat. You choose!

Can I use natural peanut butter?

You can. But for the best results, ultimate meltability and texture, I like and recommend an emulsified peanut butter like Jif.

Can I use mini marshmallows?

Yep, mini or regular marshmallows work great.

Instructions

Line a 13×9 inch pan or 14×10 inch pan with parchment paper or spray with baking spray. I like to leave a bit of overhang of parchment paper on the short sides of the pan so I can easily lift the bars out.
Stir together the cereals and peanut butter chips.
Over low heat in a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the entire package of marshmallows and use a spatula to stir well. Stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Add the peanut butter, stir until well combined and remove from heat.
Add the peanut butter mixture to the cereal mixture, stirring quickly to get all the cereal nice and coated.
Dump the mixture into the prepared pan and use your hands to press it into a flat, even layer.
Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring at each 30-second interval until chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Pour over the cereal treats and spread evenly across the top. Top with crumbled reese’s peanut butter cups, gently pressing the candy into the chocolate top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if you’re extra like that. Refrigerate for an hour or until completely set.
Slice into bars. Chocolate peanut butter lovers UNITE.🤘🏼
