What You'll Need

  • 1 (10-ounce) package marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 6 cups toasted whole grain oat cereal (Test Kitchen used Cheerios)

What to Do

  1. Coat a 10- x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave marshmallows and butter 60 to 70 seconds, or until melted. Mix in 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 cup chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Add cereal and mix until evenly coated. Spread evenly on baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, lightly pressing them into cereal mixture.
  3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave remaining peanut butter 5 seconds. Place in a small resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner. Drizzle peanut butter over cereal mixture.
  4. Let firm up then cut into squares.

Unbelievably good! I can't resist peanut butter and chocolate. I love the cheerio crunch too.
