Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Salted pretzels (crushed)
- 0.5 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a non-stick spray.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and melted together, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
Add the rolled oats, crushed pretzels, and mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the peanut butter and honey mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 2 minutes) before folding in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips. This prevents the chocolate from fully melting and creates pockets of chocolate throughout.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates, pressing them gently into the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and set.
Once set, lift the Goblin Bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place them on a cutting board and slice them into 12 equal bars or squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
