Tracy's Note- I received an email on 12/19/02, and the sender (also a Tracy) has retyped the recipe so it's easier to follow. Here's her revision-

INGREDIENTS:

    • 1 package large marshmallows (10 ounces)
    • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
    • 1/4 cup peanut butter
    • 5 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
    • 1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  4. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir until well mixed.
  5. Add melted marshmallows into bowl of crispy rice – mix until all the cereal is covered.
  6. Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread to cover the area. (I used food preparation gloves that had a little bit of melted butter on them – it makes the process much easier)

  9. Stir; spread over cereal mixture to within 1" of edges.
