Reese’s Pieces Rice Krispie Treats

In a large pot, add the butter and melt over medium-low heat. Stirring constantly, brown the butter until it becomes foamy and a deep golden brown color. You’ll know it’s done when you see darker brown bits on the bottom and the butter has a nutty aroma.

As soon as the butter is browned, add the peanut butter and stir continually until melted.

Turn off the heat and add 12 ounces of marshmallows to the pot, setting aside the remaining 4 ounces for later. Stir until the marshmallows have completely melted.

Add the rice krispies cereal and mix until they are completely coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Add in the 4 ounces of remaining marshmallows and the reese’s pieces, reserving some of the reese’s pieces to add on top. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Alternatively, you can pour the rice krispie marshmallow mixture onto a lightly greased counter and mix in the marshmallows and reese’s pieces with greased, gloved hands.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing down firmly, with your hands or a greased spatula. Press extra reese’s pieces candies into the top, if desired.

Allow the treats to cool before cutting. Cut into squares and enjoy!
