Homemade PayDay Candy Bar Recipe
Description
This Homemade PayDay Candy Bar recipe layers salted peanuts in a pan to create a crunchy base. A melted mixture of butter, peanut butter chips, sweetened condensed milk, and mini marshmallows is poured over the peanuts to bind the ingredients together with a sweet, creamy coating. The remaining peanuts are sprinkled on top before allowing the mixture to cool and set, forming a dense candy bar with chewy marshmallows and the crunch of salted peanuts throughout.
Since this dessert requires no oven baking, it's quick to assemble and make in advance. The candy bars can be chilled to firm up further and sliced once cool. The combination of peanut butter and marshmallows provides a soft chewiness that contrasts with the crunchy peanuts, making it enjoyable for peanut candy lovers.
