How to Make Cereal's More Bars

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Rice Krispies or similar), 1 cup of salted peanuts, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional).
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 (10 ounce) bag of marshmallows, and 1/4 cup of milk, stirring constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir gently to combine until evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will help them set properly.
Cut into bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
