Ingredients
¼cupunsalted butter
10.5ozbag mini marshmallows
6½cupsReese’s puffs cereal
2cupssemi sweet chocolate chips
½cupunsalted butter,(1 stick), cubed
1½cupsReese’s pieces,optional
Preparation
Spray an 11×7-inch (or 9×9-inch) baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, remove the pan from heat.
Stir in Reese’s Puffs until they are completely coated with the marshmallow. Press into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray to make the sticky cereal mixture easier to press down.
Make the chocolate fudge layer by microwaving the chocolate chips and cubed butter for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Once completely melted smooth, spread chocolate on top of Reese’s Puffs treats.
If topping with Reese’s Pieces, press them lightly into the fudge frosting so they stick.
Chill bars for at least 1 hour so the chocolate can set before cutting into squares.
Store covered in the refrigerator during hot months to avoid the chocolate topping from melting.
