Ingredients

5 Tablespoons salted butter
1 (16-ounce) bag mini marshmallows , divided (about 9-10 cups)
½ cup creamy peanut butter , divided
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about 1/2 a box)

Instructions

Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with foil and grease with butter or spray with nonstick spray.
In a large saucepan, melt 5 Tablespoons salted butter over medium-low heat. Add 7 cups marshmallows and cook until softened. Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter until completely melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and mix in 6 cups cereal and remaining 2 to 3 cups marshmallows until the cereal is evenly coated.

Transfer to the baking dish. Using a spoon coated in butter or wax paper, evenly press the mixture down to make compact and create a level surface.
