Gluten Free Junk Food

We just happen to have marshmallows in the house (longish story). For some reason I thought I'd just go buy the other 3 ingredients and make Rice Krispie squares. Sort of like having butter in the house and deciding to go buy cheese, eggs and flour to make a soufflé. After making it, I know why we don't often do it. It's like melting a bunch of candy bars and sticking them together. Here's the recipe - knock yourself out:
CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIE BARS 1/2 c. butter
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. peanut butter
10 oz. mini-marshmallows
3 1/2 c. Rice Krispies
Melt and mix butter, 1 cup chocolate chips and peanut butter. Add marshmallows until melted. Add Rice Krispies and nuts. Put in 9 x 13 inch pan.
TOPPING:
1 c. chocolate chips
1/3 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. powdered sugar
Melt 1 cup chips, milk and butter. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar. Beat with mixer. Put on bars while still warm.
 
 To think I once passed on a chance to try a deep-fried Mars bar.

 
mmmm... sort of.
