Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups La Choy chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Unsalted peanuts
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional for topping)
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the La Choy chow mein noodles and unsalted peanuts. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the honey, peanut butter, and mini marshmallows.
Stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the noodles and peanuts in the mixing bowl. Gently fold with a spatula until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly and firmly with a spatula or clean hands.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the bars, spreading it out evenly if desired.
Optional: Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the chocolate topping for a sweet and salty twist.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour or until the bars are set and firm.
Once set, remove from the dish and cut into 12 bars. Serve and enjoy!
