Peanut Butter Mallow Bars

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.
