Ingredients

For crust:

  • 16 ounces peanut butter sandwich cookies Nutter Butters
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

For topping:

  • 2 cups peanut butter chips
  • cup light corn syrup
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 2 cups crisp rice cereal Rice Krispies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

For crust:

  • Pulverize cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and process until crumbs clump together.
  • Press crumbs into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.

For topping:

  • Melt the peanut butter chips, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the peanut mixture over the cooked crumb base.
  • Top with marshmallows and return the pan to the oven. Bake until marshmallows puff up, about 2 minutes, then remove from oven. DO NOT let the marshmallows brown or they will turn crunchy.
  • Add peanuts and cereal to the remaining melted peanut butter chip mixture and stir to evenly coat.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the peanut topping over the marshmallows and carefully spread with a non-stick silicone spatula. If the mixture is still sticking to the spatula, spray the spatula with non-stick cooking spray. Continue until evenly coated.
  • Let the bars fully cool before cutting.
