½ cupnatural peanut butter, we like salted
2tablespoonsbutter
1teaspoonvanilla
5cupsRice Krispies
½ teaspoonflaky sea salt
Chocolate Topping
1 ½ cupsdark chocolate chips
1tablespoonvegetable oil
Instructions
Grease the sides and bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter. (See notes) Melt the marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a large bowl in your microwave. (You can also do this step in a pot on low heat.)
10 ounces marshmallows, ½ cup natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons butter
Once melted, stir in the vanilla. Add Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
1 teaspoon vanilla, 5 cups Rice Krispies
Transfer to the buttered baking dish and press down into the pan. (Lightly greasing your hands with butter helps prevent sticking.)
Add the chocolate and oil to a small bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Pour the chocolate over the Rice Krispie treats. Let the chocolate cool and harden slightly then sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
Once the chocolate has hardened completely, remove the treats from the baking dish and cut it into squares.
Notes
If you know that your baking dish tends to be sticky, you can line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper so the squares don't stick.
