CHOCOLATE/PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES 
1 c. peanut butter, creamy or chunky
1 c. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. butter, cut into sm. pieces
1 bag (10 1/2 oz.) miniature marshmallows
2 c. Crisp Rice cereal

Coat an 8-inch square pan with vegetable cooking spray. Put peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter in a 3 quart microwave safe bowl. Microwave uncovered on high 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until butter melts and chocolate chips look soft and glossy but still retain their shape. Stir until smooth, then stir in marshmallows.

Microwave on high 45 to 60 seconds. Marshmallows will be slightly melted. Stir to mix, then stir in cereal until well blended. Scrape mixture into prepared pan; spread evenly. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours until firm. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Makes 25.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
