Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray so you end up with thick, even squares. Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal if desired.
Add cereal and 1 cup of peanut butter candies to a large mixing bowl. Stir until blended.
Add butter and marshmallows to a saucepan, and heat over low-medium heat until melted, stirring often.
Quickly mix in peanut butter, then pour over cereal mixture.
Pour mixture into prepared pan, and spread evenly. How do you press them into the pan without sticking? grease a spatula or your hands with butter or cooking spray or use wax or parchment paper to press the mixture into the pan without it sticking to your fingers.
Place peanut butter cups on top in rows of 3, then press down firmly. Top pan with remaining candies, then press down firmly on those too.
Allow to set for minimum 2 hours inside your fridge. Then cut into 9 equal pieces and serve.
Enjoy!

Use Low Heat. Melt the marshmallows and peanut butter slowly on a low heat while stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Mix Gently. Evenly distribute the marshmallow mixture without over-mixing or crushing the cereal.

Let Them Set. Refrigerate and chill your treats for at least 2 hours so they set properly.

Cutting Your Squares. Use a greased sharp knife or sharp knife run under hot water and then dried between each cut to create neat and uniform squares.

Room Temperature Ingredients. Use room temperature peanut butter, marshmallows and butter to assist with proper melting.

Prevent Sticky Fingers. Grease a spatula or coat your hands with butter or cooking spray or use wax or parchment paper to press the mixture into the pan without it sticking.
