Ingredients
unsalted butter
1/4 cup (plus more for greasing the dish)
large marshmallows
10 ounces (none)
creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup (none)
crispy rice cereal
6 cups (none)
semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
1
Begin by greasing a 9 by 13-inch rectangular baking dish with a little unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
2
In a large pot, melt the 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
3
Once the butter is melted, add in the 10 ounces of large marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows melt completely and there are no visible white spots.
4
Remove the pot from the heat and mix in 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5
Gently fold in 6 cups of crispy rice cereal, making sure to coat all the cereal evenly with the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture.
6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using slightly damp hands, press down gently to level the top without making it too dense.
7
Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature. This may take about 30 minutes.
8
While the treats are cooling, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over low heat or in a microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
9
Once the treats are fully cool, cut them into 36 equal squares.
10
Dip the top side of each square into the melted chocolate, ensuring only a shallow dip for an enticing chocolate layer.
11
Place the dipped squares chocolate side up on a baking sheet or cooling rack until the chocolate has set.
