Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups Salted Cocktail Peanuts Use unsalted peanuts for a milder flavor.
  • ½ cup Butter Substituting with margarine works for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Chips Can be replaced with regular peanut butter for a different texture.
  • 14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk Evaporated milk with sugar can be a substitute if needed.
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows Regular marshmallows can be used if chopped into smaller pieces.

Equipment

  • 2-quart saucepan
  • 11x7-inch baking dish
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the baking dish by lining an 11x7-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread half of the salted cocktail peanuts evenly across the bottom.
  2. Melt ½ cup of butter and 1 cup of peanut butter chips in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of mini marshmallows and 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture over the peanuts in the baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top and gently press them in.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for about 1 hour to set. Once firm, lift out using parchment and cut into 1-inch by 2-inch pieces.
