Superbowl Dessert-Salted Nut Roll Bars

I thought I would post a recipe that was easy to make as well as easy to eat while watching the game!



1 Ib. peanut-butter sandwich cookies, coarsely crumbled
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

For The Topping:
2 cups peanut-butter chips
2/3 cup light corn syrup
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
2 cups rice krispies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; coat 13x9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

Crumble cookies in a food processor or by hand until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and mix until combined. then press mixture into bottom of greased pan. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

While crust is cooking, melt peanut butter chips, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes. Spread 1/2 cup of peanut mixture over crumb base (once crust is done cooking).

Top with marshmallows and return bars to oven. Bake until marshmallows puff, about 2minutes, then remove from oven. *Don't let marshmallows brown or they will be crunchy.

Toss peanuts and cereal with remaining peanut mixture to coat. Drop by spoonfuls over top the marshmallows, then spread with a spatula (to keep mixture from sticking to spatula, spray spatula with non-stick cooking spray).

Cool bars before cutting with a knife coated with non-stick cooking spray.

And then enjoy!
