Notes
This recipe is sort of like making Rice Krispie treats – it’s good to have everything measured and ready to go. That way, things like the marshmallows and melted peanut butter chips don’t start setting up on you while you’re trying to assemble everything. So prep and measure before you start.
For the marshmallows – keep an eye on them while they’re in the oven. You don’t want to totally melt them or have them turn golden. You’re basically warming them up enough so they puff up. Once they do take them out of the oven.
If you melt the peanut butter chips in the microwave, I recommend warming them in 30-second increments and stirring between each.
When you chill the bars be sure to to take them them out of the fridge while they’re still a little soft – if they harden too much they will be difficult to slice.
