MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE/PEANUT
BUTTER SQUARES
 
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. butter, cut into sm. pieces
1 (10 1/2 oz.) bag 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 45-60 seconds. Marshmallows will be slightly melted. Stir to mix, then stir in cereal until well blended. Scrape mixture into prepared pan, spread evenly. Refrigerate 2-3 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.
