  • To make the Peanut Topping, break the chocolate into a microwave-safe dish, add the peanut butter and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the rice bubbles.
  • Spread the Peanut Topping over the cooled marshmallow. Refrigerate until set then cut into pieces.
