Reese's Stuffed Rice Krispie Treats

This is one of those random recipes that appeared on Facebook from Delish.  The girls love Scotch-a Roos so I knew they would love these......Reeses Stuffed Rice Krispie Treats.  Yum!  I made them this past weekend when Jenna was home.  Jenna shared a few with her friend Sarah and her family.  Sarah texted me this morning and said her mom said...."best thing I've ever put in my mouth"!  They are yummy!

Reese's Stuffed Rice Krispie Treats (adapted from Delish)

cooking spray for pan
5 Tbsp butter
1   10 oz bag mini marshmallows
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
pinch kosher salt
6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
12 - 16 regular size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, melted for garnish
1/4 melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for garnish

Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter.  Stir in marsh mallows, peanut butter and salt... stir until mixture is melted.  Remove from heat.  Immediately add Rice Krispies and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.  Working quickly, press a thin layer of rice krispie mixture into the bottom of the lined 9 x 13.  Add a layer of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.  Press the remaining Rice Krispie mixture on top of the peanut butter cups.  Drizzle the melted chocolate and peanut butter, then refrigerate until cool... about 30 minutes.  Slice into squares and serve.
