Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Salted peanuts
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Peanut butter chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Salted peanuts (for layering)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving excess paper hanging over the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of salted peanuts across the bottom of the prepared pan.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't burn.
Add the peanut butter chips to the melted butter and stir until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the mixture and stir continuously until well incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the mini marshmallows until they are coated but not melted completely.
Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the layer of peanuts in the baking pan.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of salted peanuts on top, pressing them gently into the marshmallow mixture to adhere.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, lift the solid block from the pan using parchment paper and cut into squares of your desired size.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
