How to Make Salted Peanut Chews
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 2 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Immediately sprinkle 1 (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows evenly over the warm crust.
- Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until marshmallows are slightly melted and puffy.

- In a large saucepan over low heat, stir together 2 cups peanut butter chips, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

- Immediately spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
