1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

2 tablespoons of melted peanut butter

Once the mixture is melted and smooth add the mini-marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, be sure to spread evenly but don’t squish the treats down too much.

Cut and enjoy.

3. If you want to skip to layer of chocolate then drizzle the treats with the peanut butter instead, they still taste delicious.
