Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Mini Marshmallows divided
- 16 ounces Melting Chocolate or chocolate chips
- ¾ cup Peanut Butter creamy
- ¼ cup Butter
- 2 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
Instructions
- Before starting, place the bag of mini marshmallows in the freezer for at least 5 minutes. This keeps the marshmallows from melting too fast.
- Place a large pan over medium-low to medium heat. Add the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate. Melt and blend the ingredients stirring often.
- Remove the pan from the stove and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- While the chocolate mixture is cooling, prepare an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 9-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper. This is so you can lift the bars out of the pan easily when you are ready to cut them.
- When the chocolate has cooled for about 5 minutes, stir in the crispy rice cereal and 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir quickly and just enough to keep the mini marshmallows from completely melting.
- Pour the rocky road bars mixture into the prepared dish. Spread evenly and top with the remaining marshmallows.
- Refrigerate the bars until fully set, about 2-3 hours.
- Lift the whole chocolate out of the pan. Cut the rocky road into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
