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.

February 14, 2017 at 3:15 amWhat are nutter butter cookies?? Could I use graham wafer crumbs instead of those cookie bits ??
Melissa says
February 14, 2017 at 2:40 pmI 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.
