Salted Peanut Chews Recipe
Description
The recipe builds from a soft peanut butter cookie dough pressed into a pan and baked until firm to form a sturdy base. Immediately after baking, miniature marshmallows are sprinkled on top and briefly melted to create a sticky, sweet layer. A cooked mixture of light corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and peanut butter chips is then stirred with crispy Rice Krispies cereal and salted peanuts, producing a sticky, crunchy topping.
Once this topping is spread over the marshmallows and allowed to cool, the bars hold together yet offer a contrast of chewy marshmallow and crunchy cereal and nuts. The salted peanuts enhance the peanut buttery sweetness with bursts of saltiness.
Chilling the bars before cutting helps achieve clean slices. These bars are suitable for dessert or snack time, combining textural variety with familiar peanut and marshmallow flavors in a portable form.
