Peanut Butter Rice Krispy treats with Chocolate topping

Makes a 9 x 13 pan.

Ingredients:

5 cups rice krispies
1/4 cup butter
10.5 ounce bag of marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

Prepare the pan, either line it with parchment paper or butter it.
Measure out the rice krispies.
Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the marshmallows and stir while they melt on low heat, not allowing them to burn. When the marshmallows have melted, add the peanut butter and incorporate.
Turn off the heat and add the rice krispies, stirring until they are blended with the marshmallow mixture.
Dump into the prepared pan, preparing an even layer.
Melt the chocolate chips, either in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove. Spread over the rice krispies.  Cool until the chocolate is hard.


Chocolate Rice Krispy Balls

1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup rice krispys
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded coconut

Mix together and put into the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Remove and form into balls. Return to the fridge and let chill for at least an hour.

In a double boiler, melt 1 package chocolate chips and 1 square sweet chocolate.
Keep on low so that the chocolate stays soft.
Drop balls into chocolate mixture one at a time, using fork to roll them so that chocolate will coat them. Put on parchment paper and keep in the fridge.
