How to Make Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars Decadent
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle 1 (11-ounce) bag of miniature marshmallows over the warm cake.
- Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows are slightly melted.
- Using a knife dipped in water, gently spread the melted marshmallows evenly across the surface.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
- **For the topping:** In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons butter.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
- Spread the chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled marshmallow layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the topping to set completely before cutting into bars.
- Cut into 3 dozen bars.
