Crunchy Chocolate Treats

1. In a large, deep saucepan, melt 4 Tbsp butter, cut into pieces, over low heat; about 4 minutes. Add 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows; cook, stirring, until melted, 6 to 8 minutes.

2. Add 8 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped; cook, stirring, until melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Quickly fold in 6 cups rice cereal and 3/4 cup peanut-butter chips until evenly distributed.

3. Coat a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray; scoop mixture onto waxed paper, forming clusters. Let set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to several days.

Note: To make squares instead of clusters, use a wet spatula and evenly spread mixture into a buttered 9x13 baking pan. Let set before cutting with a serrated knife.

Makes 2 dozen.
