Prep: 20 min. + chilling

Yield: 48 Servings

20 20

Ingredients

1 package (10-1/2 ounces) miniature marshmallows
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup salted peanuts
FROSTING:
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 1-1/2 minutes. Stir until well blended (the mixture will be lumpy). Add cereal and peanuts; stir until well coated. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan.
For the frosting, combine chocolate chips, butter and milk in another microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Add sugar and vanilla. With an electric mixer, beat frosting until smooth. Spread over the cereal mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares. Yield: about 4 dozen.

I made these for my husband to take to work for his gluten free co-workers. They were delicious. I made several copies of the recipe, and sent them along. These are better than scotcheroos. I will make these bars again!

My two sons helped me make these treats many times. They always "licked" the bowl afterwards. Sometimes I leave off the frosting, but either way the squares are scrumptious.
