🧂 Ingredients

8 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup cookie butter
20 ounces mini marshmallows

about two bags
6 cups crisp rice cereal
18-20 ounces mini M&Ms

Instructions

1 Start by placing mini M&Ms in the freezer to prevent melting while you prepare
the treat base.
2 Line a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3 In a large pot, melt together butter and cookie butter over medium heat until
smooth and completely liquid.
4 Remove from heat and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Add one bag of mini marshmallows,
stirring until fully melted.
5 After the first bag is melted, add the second bag and mix in the crisp rice
cereal until combined.
6 Gently fold in half of the mini M&Ms, being cautious not to overmix to keep them
whole.
7 Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or greased
fingers, press down evenly.
8 Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms on top and gently press to embed them into the treat
mixture.
9 Allow the bars to cool for at least 2 hours before cutting them into 12 squares
for serving.
