  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a slight overhang.
  • Melt butter and peanut butter together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the cereal and toss gently until coated.
