Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately mix in 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until glossy and fully incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies until evenly coated without crushing.
  4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners, fill each cup two-thirds full with the mixture, and press down lightly to shape.
  5. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, then spoon over the Rice Krispie cups.
  6. Allow to cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 20 minutes.
