Easy Peanut Butter Mallow Bars Recipe

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. What can I say, I thought I was styling with my Barbie lunchbox 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 with a bit of "chewiness" from the marshmallows and the nutter butter cookies add crunch and texture.

How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Mallow Bars Recipe

Keep in mind, these mallow bars are rich and are best cut into small squares much like fudge. You can certainly make them any size you like, but in the case of these goodies, less is more.

• Ingredients you'll need to make Peanut Butter Mallow Bars: Sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter baking chips, chopped nutter butter cookies, mini marshmallows, butter, vanilla extract and chopped peanuts.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A medium size heavy bottomed saucepan, measuring cups and spoons, a sharp knife and cutting board, an offset spatula or rubber spreading spatula and an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 square non stick pan.
• These homemade peanut butter bars are like fudge in that you need to work fairly quickly when combining the ingredients and spreading them into the pan. In light of that, have everything ready and nearby and you'll be good to go.
• The marshmallows won't completely melt into the warm peanut butter mixture by design. You want to be able to see some of them in the mallow bars, hence the name.
• Store Peanut Butter Mallow Bars in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
