Instructions

1.Grease an 8-inch square cake pan with softened butter. Line with a long piece of parchment paper that extends up and over two opposite sides of the pan.

2.In a large pot set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir with a flexible spatula until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla and salt until combined.

3.Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the rice cereal until combined. Transfer half of the mixture to the prepared pan and press down lightly to create an even layer. Use an offset spatula to spread the jelly over the treats. Top with the remaining cereal mixture, gently flattening it until uniform.

4.Let the treats set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. To remove them from the pan, grip the parchment overhang and lift. Slice the treats into 16 even squares. The treats will keep tightly wrapped on the counter for up to 5 days.
