Here below is the recipe and the video tutorial to watch to see how to make these bars
Recipe:
BASE:
1/2 cup (120g) butter or margarine softened (I used salted butter, but that is up to you)
2/3 cup (160g) packed brown sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (215g) all purpose flour
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) baking soda
3 cups (170g) miniature marshmallows (or three cups large marshmallows cut into small pieces)
In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and butter together and blend by hand or with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Blend in the vanilla extract and the egg yolks.
In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredient mixture a little at a time blending by hand or with an electric mixer until it resembles coarse crumbs (do not overmix).
Grease a 9×13″ pan (about 33cm x 23 cm) and dump the base ingredients in. Distribute evenly and pat down lightly. Bake the crust at 350 F (175C) for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and immediately dump the marshmallows on top, spreading them around evenly. Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes more until the marshmallows are puffed and just starting to show hints of brown colour.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on wire rack.
TOPPING:
2/3 cup (150ml) corn syrup
1/4 cup (65g) butter or margarine
1 package (10oz or 300g) peanut butter chips
2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract
2 cups (60g) crisp rice cereal (like rice krispies, rice bubbles or Special K)
1 cup (145g) salted peanuts
1 cup (215g) plain M&M’s
In a large saucepan over medium/low heat combine the syrup, butter, peanut butter chips and vanilla and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal, peanuts and M&M’s. Stir gently as to not break up the candy.
Spoon this mixture over the top of the base and spread out gently until even.
Cool and cut into bars. You can put this in the refrigerator to hasten the cooling process, but it can be stored at room temperature in a airtight container.
Makes about 2 dozen pieces.
