Sandy's Candy

Source:  Aunt Sandy Kucera

In our family cookbook, this recipe is called Sandy's Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge.  We've always just called it Sandy's Candy.  It's like Rice Krispies Squares on steroids.  So easy, so tasty, so addictive....

1 pound milk chocolate (I've used milk chocolate chips in the past and that works well)
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with butter. 

In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate on medium-high setting for one minute.  Stir.  If the chocolate isn't melted continue to heat in 15 second intervals, stirring every time until the chocolate is just melted.  Don't let the chocolate get too hot--just warm enough to be melted.  When chocolate is melted, stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth, then quickly add the Rice Krispies and marshmallows.  Stir until combined.  Spread mixture in the greased 8- or 9-inch square pan.  Refrigerate until set; cut into small squares.

Note:  If you'd like to double the recipe, use a 9- x 13-inch pan.
