Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.66 cup corn syrup
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups salted peanuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and baking soda. Mix until crumbly.
Stir in the oats until evenly combined.
Press the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows begin to puff. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the marshmallows, spreading evenly to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the salted peanuts over the top, gently pressing them down into the topping to adhere.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, or for faster results, place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into 24 bars and enjoy!
