No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• 2 cups Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures, Unwrapped And Chopped (for 2 Cups You'll Need About 8 Ounces Of Candy)
• 10-1/2 ounces, weight Mini Marshmallows
• 1/4 cups Butter
• 2 cups Chocolate Chips
• 1-1/2 cup Smooth Peanut Butter

1. Combine the Rice Krispies and chopped peanut butter cups in a large bowl.
2. Melt the marshmallows and butter in a large saucepan on low heat. Don't increase the heat too high or it will burn. The melting process takes about 20 minutes so patience is key.
3. Once melted, pour the marshmallow mixture into the Rice Krispie bowl and stir thoroughly to combine.
4. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and pour the mixture into it. Press down to compress and level it out.
5. Next, melt the chocolate and peanut butter. This is done on the stove top with a double boiler, or by taking 2 pots, and stacking one on top of the other. The bottom pot will need to contain simmering water, which then heats the top pot and melts the mixture (make sure the water in the bottom pot doesn't touch the bottom of the other pot). This also takes some time to melt. Stir occasionally until well combined.
6. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter over the Rice Krispie mix and spread it out evenly. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. I created a swirl pattern on the chocolate with a knife prior to placing in the fridge.
7. Cut the bars into squares of desired size and serve!
