For the Peanut Butter Layer:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
For the Chocolate Topping:

Instructions
- Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and marshmallows while stirring consistently until smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined and creamy.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispies into a large bowl and add the peanut butter mixture. Gently fold until all the cereal is coated evenly.
- Shape the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into each cup and press down gently to form a flat surface.
