How to Make Salted Nut Roll Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, ¼ cup chopped peanuts, ¼ cup pretzels, finely crushed, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately spread 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows evenly over the crust.
  6. Return to oven for 2 minutes, or until marshmallows begin to puff slightly.
  7. While the crust bakes, prepare the topping: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup light corn syrup, 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup peanut butter chips. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal and ½ cup chopped peanuts.
  9. Spoon the warm topping evenly over the marshmallows.
  10. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
