We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

  • FOR THE CAKE

  • Step 3: In a mixing bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and sugar for about 3-4 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla; beat for another 2 minutes.

  • Step 4: In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa; add to the creamed mixture; stir until well combined. Mix in nuts (if using). Spread into the pan.

  • Step 5: Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle marshmallows evenly over the cake; return to oven for 2-3 minutes. Using a knife dipped in water, spread the hot marshmallows evenly over the cake; cool.

  • FOR THE TOPPING

  • Step 6: Combine chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until well blended and smooth. Remove from heat, stir in the rice cereal. Dollop mixture over the bars (don't worry about completely covering the marshmallows).

  • Step 7: Chill and cut into squares.
