How to Make Salted Peanut Chew Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix at low speed until crumbly.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle evenly with mini marshmallows.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for 1-2 minutes, or until marshmallows begin to puff slightly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely while you prepare the topping.
  8. In a medium saucepan, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and corn syrup.
  9. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal and chopped salted peanuts.
  11. Immediately pour the warm topping evenly over the marshmallow layer.
  12. Spread the topping to cover the entire surface.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  14. Cut into bars and enjoy!
