How to Make Three Layer Peanut Butter Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut in ½ cup margarine (1 stick) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Evenly distribute one 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows over the baked crust.
- Bake for 2 more minutes, or until marshmallows begin to puff.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the peanut butter layer: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup creamy peanut butter.
- Cook and stir constantly until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 6-8 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup chow mein noodles, ½ cup chopped peanuts (or other nuts), and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
- Let cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
