Salted Nut Roll Bars
Remember that crazy girl in the grocery store I wrote about yesterday? Well, she requested I finally post this recipe. She says her husband’s favorite candy bar is the Salted Nut Roll and I guarantee if he likes those he’ll love these bars even more.
For the record, she’s really not crazy and she’s one of the most amazing chicks I’ve ever met! I’ve been teasing her with this recipe for oh… about a month and I just haven’t got around to posting it!
Salted Nut Roll Bars Recipe
Sometimes I have a stash of recipes waiting around for a rainy day when I don’t know what to write about and this one just got tucked away in that stash. Actually, it’s a stash for when I lose my mojo in the kitchen and I need a few backup recipes that I can post because nothing has been turning out for several days, maybe even weeks.
Grocery List for Salted Nut Roll Bars
- yellow cake mix
- egg
- butter
- miniature marshmallows
- peanut butter chips

Yes, I have those moments too. Things can look or sound so amazing and get raving reviews from others and then I make them and think what on earth happened?
In fact this happened the other night and I literally read that recipe about fifty times trying to figure out what step I missed and messed up. I never did find out what went wrong and the bars and recipe went into the garbage. What can I say our taste buds are all different.
In fact you might find this out about one or two of my recipes you try. *Gasp* I know who would have thought! I will try not to take to much offense if I ever hear this! This recipe comes from my aunt and like I said before is amazing, even more amazing than a Nut Roll.
The crust is the key ingredient. It’s soft and chewy and buttery and oh so good. I could probably just eat that part of the bar. Enjoy!

Please help me. When I pour the melted ingredients over the marshmallows, it smears and doesn’t stay layered like your photo. What am I doing wrong? The melted ingredients does not cover every square inch of my marshmallow layer. Thank you!
Julie Evink says
How long are you putting the marshmallows back in the oven for? Are you melting them? You should only put them in long enough for them to “puff” up and that only take a few minutes in my experience!
