Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

6 cups Rice Krispies (or 3 cups Rice Krispies and 3 cups Chocolate Puffed Rice)

1 container (12 oz) Trader Joe's Mini Peanut butter cups
1 bag (10.5-oz) miniature marshmallows
¼ cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter
1¼ cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups chocolate, chopped

Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix the cereal and mini peanut butter cups, set aside. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal mixture, quickly stirring well to evenly coat the cereal. Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and evenly press into the pan.

In a small sauce pan melt the peanut butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring to combine. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, spreading with a rubber spatula to cover.

Allow the topping to set, then cut and serve!

Note: We were too impatient to allow ours to set, so we placed it into the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour to speed up the process!!
