For a richer flavor, use salted butter. To prevent sticking, line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. If you prefer a softer bar, chill for a shorter amount of time. Experiment with different types of nuts, such as cashews or almonds, for a unique twist. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly coating the bottom with cooking spray. (1 minute)
02
StepEvenly distribute half of the dry-roasted peanuts across the bottom of the prepared dish, creating a foundation of nutty goodness. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter chips, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, approximately 5 minutes. Incorporate the miniature marshmallows, stirring until they are completely melted and the mixture is homogeneous. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour the luscious peanut butter and marshmallow mixture over the peanut base in the baking dish, ensuring an even distribution. Sprinkle the remaining half of the dry-roasted peanuts over the top, gently pressing them into the mixture. (5 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the baking dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the bars are firm enough to cut. (120 minutes)
06
StepOnce chilled, cut the PayDay® Bars into your desired size and shape. Serve and savor the salty-sweet perfection!
