Instructions
- Create a double boiler setup and gently melt chocolate, peanut butter, and oil together, stirring continuously until smooth and fully integrated.
- Allow the warm chocolate mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes, ensuring it remains pliable but not hot.
- Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by carefully lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Incorporate marshmallows, crushed pretzels, and M&Ms into the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Pour half of the chocolate-coated mixture into the prepared pan, creating an initial base layer with an even surface.
- Strategically arrange Reese’s pieces across the first layer, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Carefully pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the Reese’s layer, completely covering the initial ingredients.
- Embellish the top with additional M&Ms and colorful sprinkles for visual appeal and texture.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for 60-90 minutes, or until the bars have solidified completely and reached a firm, sliceable consistency.
