A delightful no-bake treat combining the creamy richness of peanut butter with the fluffy texture of marshmallows.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter.
Microwave in short intervals to prevent overheating and ensure smooth melting.
Microwave the mixture for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Stirring helps distribute the heat evenly for a creamy texture.
If needed, microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds to fully melt.
Be cautious not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.
Let the mixture cool for 1 minute.
Cooling slightly prevents the marshmallows from melting completely.
Stir in the marshmallows and chopped peanuts until evenly coated.
Ensure all marshmallows are well coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the mixture into a foil-lined 9x13 inch baking pan.
Use a spatula to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Chilling helps the bars set properly for easy slicing.
Cut into squares and serve.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and neat presentation.
