HOMEMADE PAYDAY CANDY BARS

 


Ingredients:


1.3 cups salted peanuts

2.2 cups peanut butter chips

2 cups mini marshmallows

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:


Step 1: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and peanut butter chips together until smooth and creamy.


Step 2: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and mini marshmallows. Continue stirring until the mixture is well combined and smooth.


Step 3: Grease a 9×13-inch rectangular baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Sprinkle half of the salted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the dish.


Step 4: Pour the mixture from step 2 over the peanuts, ensuring it is spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top for added crunch and flavor.


Step 5: Refrigerate the dish or let it sit at room temperature until the mixture sets. This will typically take a few hours. Once set, cut the candy into serving bars and indulge in the irresistible goodness.


Tips:


When choosing peanut butter chips, opt for ones that are similar to chocolate chips for the best results.

Refrigerating the bars will help them hold their shape for a longer period, making them perfect for storing and enjoying later.
