Puffed rice dessert with peanut butter

Ingredients:

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 6 cups puffed rice cereal (breakfast cereal)
• 0.5 cups whole roasted peanuts
• 110 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• Sea salt flakes, optional

Preparation:

1. Lightly grease a 22x32cm baking dish with butter.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until light brown spots begin to form and a slight nutty aroma emerges, 10-12 minutes. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until melted. Add the rice cereal and peanuts. Stir to combine.
3. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it into an even layer. Cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
5. Drizzle the cooled dessert with chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Cut into 18 squares.
