Ingredients for PayDay Candy Bars:
- 2-3 cups of salted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup of peanut butter chips
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 7 oz of sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ tbsp of butter
- ¼ tsp of vanilla extract
How to Make PayDay Candy Bars:
Step 1
Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter on the bottom and sides, then pour in half of the peanuts to the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and spread until filled. Place a saucepan on a stove over medium heat, then add the butter and let it melt, and then add the peanut butter chips.
Step 2
Stir them until melted and combined, then add the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and marshmallows, and pour it on the baking dish spreading it evenly. Spread the remaining peanuts over the top, then press them down the mixture, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit for at least 1 hour, then cut it into bars, and serve. Enjoy!
