Chocolate Blizzard Bars

These bars are very similar to the Avalanche Bars. I love easy desserts like this. It's super easy to make and oh so yummy!

Chocolate Blizzard Bars
12 oz chocolate chips (semisweet, bittersweet, or milk)
1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chips or M&M's
garnish: mini marshmallows and additional M&M's

Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish and set aside.

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips for one minute; stir. Continue to microwave at 30 second intervals until chocolate chips are completely melted. Stir in the peanut butter until combined. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the rice cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips or M&M's. Fold together with a rubber spatula until mixed well.

Pour mixture into prepared pan. Press additional marshmallows and M&M's onto the top of the bars. Let the bars cool for 5-6 hours until they are firm. Cut into squares and serve.

*This recipe can be easily doubled and placed in a 9x13 baking dish.
