Description
A sweet and salty no-bake peanut candy bar with crunchy roasted peanuts and a soft chewy peanut butter filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups salted roasted peanuts, divided
- 2 cups peanut butter chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Line a 9 by 13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups salted roasted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Add peanut butter chips, unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, mini marshmallows, vanilla extract, and fine salt to a medium saucepan.
- Warm over low heat, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the warm filling over the peanut layer and spread gently with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups salted roasted peanuts evenly over the top.
- Press the top peanut layer lightly so it sticks to the filling.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the candy slab from the pan and cut into 24 bars or squares.
- Serve chilled or let sit briefly at room temperature for a softer chew.
Notes
- Use parchment paper so the candy lifts out cleanly.
- Keep the heat low when melting the filling so it stays smooth.
- Chill fully before slicing for the neatest bars.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator with parchment between layers.
