  2. Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Gently fold in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Press firmly and evenly into the pan to create an even layer.
  5. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle with melted milk chocolate or dark chocolate after cooling.
