Chocolate Covered Reese’s Rice Krispie Treats

Directions

• Make Krispie Treats

1Generously spray a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.

2Cut each peanut butter cup into six pieces. In a bowl that is large enough to fit all of the cereal, stir cereals and the chopped peanut butter cups.

3Add butter and marshmallows to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Use a spoon and stir the marshmallows. While they may not look melted, once you stir them they begin to turn molten. If some marshmallows are still solid, place the bowl back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Stir until smooth. If after 10 seconds they still have not all melted, repeat, in 10 second intervals, until they are – just remember to stir each time. Pour melted marshmallow over cereal and gently stir until well coated.

4Transfer mixture to baking dish and firmly press into one even layer. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and let sit, at room temperature for 30 minutes or until cooled and set.

• Make Glaze

1When the treats are set, the chocolate glaze can be added to the top. To make glaze, add chocolate and the butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Use a spoon to stir then microwave for 20 second intervals, stirring after each interval until chocolate, and the butter have melted into a glaze. (In our microwave, this took the initial 30 seconds then four intervals of 20 seconds).

2Add honey then vigorously stir the glaze until shiny.

• To Finish

1Pour chocolate glaze over cooled Rice Krispy treats then spread the glaze into one even layer. Immediately top with chopped peanuts. Set aside for another 20 to 30 minutes until the glaze has set completely. Cut into 24 rectangles.
