PARTY SQUARES

Steps:

• Melt butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish.
• Add the mini-mallows and microwave until smooth, stirring frequently.
• In a separate, large mixing bowl, combine the M&M's, Chex, and pretzels.
• Pour the mallow mixture over the Chex mixture, and stir to coat (will be a little messy and gooey!) Pour (or rather, plop) entire works into a 9x13 pan and spread it so it is even.
• I spray the pan with Pam so they're easier to remove later.
• Let cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!
