ESTIMATED COST : $6.35, or $0.38 a slice
Ingredients
- 125 grams (4.41 ounces) marshmallows (white preferred)
- 35 grams (1.24 ounces) butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons (35 grams, 1.24 ounces) peanut butter, smooth preferred
- 2 ½ cups (75 grams, 2.65 ounces) rice krispies (bubbles)
- 250 grams (8.81 ounces) chocolate chips white, milk, dark, or caramilk
Toppings (optional)
- Crushed peanuts sprinkles, or grated chocolate
Instructions
- Grease and line a slice tin (17cm x 27 cm, 6.69 inches x 10.62 inches) with parchment paper on the bottom and sides.
- In a medium to large saucepan, heat the butter, marshmallows, and peanut butter over low to medium heat until melted and the mixture is smooth and liquid. Stir occasionally so that it does not burn or stick to the saucepan.
- Turn off heat. Mix through the rice krispies.
- Pour mixture into prepared slice tin. Press gently down the mixture using the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten the top and make it even. If you want the top of the slice to be smooth, simply place parchment paper on top and smooth the slice with your hands.
- Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave with a microwave safe bowl or using the double boiler method.
- Pour over melted chocolate on the top of the rice krispie slice.
- You could sprinkle hundreds and thousands, extra chocolate bits, or chopped peanuts, on top before the chocolate sets.
- Allow to cool until the slice is at room temperature and chocolate is set. Cut into 4cm x 4cm (1.57 inches x 1.57 inches) squares or a size of your liking. Serve.
