Ingredients

Rice Krispies Treats:

3 Tbls butter unsalted
6 Cups crispy rice Cereal
4 cups mini marshmallows

Peanut Butter Frosting:

1/4 Cup butter unsalted, softened
1/2 Cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 Tbls milk
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
1 Cup powdered sugar
1 medium sized bag of m&ms for decoration

Instructions

Rice krispies treats:

Melt butter in a large sauce pot over medium low heat. Add in marshmallows and let melt, stirring constantly. As soon as all the marshmallows have melted, take off the heat and add in the rice cereal. Mix and mix until all the cereal is coated. Spread mix over a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, for easy spreading spray a spatula with cooking spray or your fingers. Form into the shape you wish (try to get a flat surface), set aside, covered with plastic wrap for at least one hour to set.

Peanut Butter Frosting:

Cream together the butter and peanut butter with a hand mixer over medium speed. Add in the powdered sugar until combined. Add in the milk and vanilla. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy about 3 minutes.
Spread over rice krispies treats in a thin even layer. For the rainbow effect, start in one corner and in alternating colors add rows and rows of m&ms.
Cut into bars, serve and enjoy!
