Peanut Butter Mallow Bars

A Lunchtime Memory

These scrumptious Peanut Butter Mallow Bars are a taste of nostalgia for me. When I was a little girl, I most often packed my lunch for school.  I had a rockin’ Barbie lunch box that I adored.  It was black patent and had brightly colored pictures of Barbie and her friends scattered all over.  What can I say, I thought I was stylin’ and making a fashion statement. Oh, how times have changed.There was one day of the week that it was imperative that I buy my lunch.  That was the day they were serving these chewy little peanut butter bars as a dessert. They were chewy, not fudge-like in texture and I absolutely loved them.  I remember taking tiny bites so I could savor each and every one.  I thought they were heavenly. These mallow bars were inspired by those delectable chewy peanut butter bars that I loved as a little girl. The marshmallows add a bit of “chewiness” and the cookies a bit of crunch.

Other No Bake Bars

Yummy no bake desserts are a lifesaver when the going gets tough and you’re short  on time. You may also like to try these Chocolate Marshmallow Bars from Cravings of a Lunatic and  Mallow Cup Brownies from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen for a summertime treat.

      Hi Donna, that’s a great question. I’ve never frozen these but, you can freeze fudge so, this should do well, too. Like fudge, it may be best to freeze in one solid block then cut into squares when thawed.

      I make this recipe just as written. Nutter butters are sandwich cookies so I’m not certain is graham cracker crumbs would give the same result.
