Servings: 36 squares
Yield: 1 nine x thirteen inch pan full
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients, but hold out the marshmallows for later. This mixture will form the crust of your squares. |
| 2 | Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13-inch pan. Ensure an even layer for uniform baking. |
| 3 | Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven until it turns light golden brown, typically around 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. |
| 4 | Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately spread the mini marshmallows evenly on top. |
| 5 | Return the pan to the oven for an additional 2 minutes or until the marshmallows begin to puff up. |
| 6 | Once the marshmallows are slightly melted and puffed, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the topping. |
| 7 | In a large saucepan, heat the corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and peanut butter chips over low heat until the chips are melted, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth texture. |
| 8 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cereal and chopped peanuts until well combined. This will create a deliciously nutty topping for your squares. |
| 9 | Spoon the warm topping over the cooled marshmallow layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. |
| 10 | Allow the squares to cool completely before cutting them into individual servings. Enjoy the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors with every bite! |
