- Quickly pour the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a greased spatula or wax paper to smooth the top.
- If desired, sprinkle additional mini marshmallows on top and lightly press them into the surface.
- Drizzle with melted peanut butter or peanut butter drizzle for extra flavor.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

- The optional peanut butter drizzle can be swapped for chocolate for an added indulgence.
