Recipe: Delicious Peanut Caramel Marshmallow Bars

• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Yield: 36 bars

Ingredients:

• 1 cup salted peanuts
• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 cup marshmallow cream
• 2/3 cup salted peanuts
• Caramel topping (to drizzle)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan to ensure your bars don’t stick.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients – salted peanuts, flour, quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix them well together.
4. Add Egg: Stir in the egg until the mixture starts to come together.
5. Incorporate Butter: Cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly, forming a deliciously textured base.
6. Press into Pan: Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a solid crust for your bars.
7. Bake First Layer: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the crust turns lightly golden brown. Be sure not to overbake at this stage.
8. Add Marshmallow Cream: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately spoon the marshmallow cream over the hot crust. Spread it carefully and evenly, creating a fluffy layer of sweetness.
9. Drizzle Caramel: Next, drizzle the caramel topping generously over the marshmallow layer, adding a decadent touch to your bars.
10. Sprinkle with Peanuts: Sprinkle the remaining salted peanuts over the caramel topping, adding a satisfying crunch to each bite.
11. Bake Second Layer: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top layer is lightly browned and the caramel is gooey and delicious.
12. Cool and Cut: Once baked to perfection, allow the bars to cool in the pan. Once cooled, cut them into neat squares or bars, ready to be devoured!
