Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter to the saucepan. Continue stirring over low heat until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes, but not so much that it starts to firm up.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and salted peanuts.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the marshmallows and peanuts. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly, pressing it down gently to ensure it sets firmly.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the square block out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
Store the Marshmallow Peanut Chocolate Squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
