  3. Once melted, remove from heat and fold in 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until thoroughly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the baking pan, spreading it evenly and pressing down to create a firm layer.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal base and spread it evenly.
  7. Let the squares sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour to set.
  8. Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang, cut into squares, and enjoy!
