Ingredients:

For the Base:

2 cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Caramel Layer:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

1 cup roasted peanuts (salted or unsalted, depending on preference)

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a solid base. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Layer

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled base.

Step 3: Add the Topping

While the caramel is still warm, sprinkle the roasted peanuts and mini marshmallows over the top.

If using, sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the peanuts and marshmallows. The heat from the caramel should slightly melt the chocolate, creating a gooey, delicious topping.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Once fully chilled, cut into squares or bars and serve.

Conclusion

These Peanut Caramel Marshmallow Bars are a delightful fusion of textures and flavors that will leave everyone asking for seconds. The buttery, crumbly base supports the rich, smooth caramel layer, while the crunchy peanuts and soft marshmallows on top create a satisfying contrast in every bite. Easy to make and utterly delicious, this dessert is perfect for sharing—though you might want to keep a few pieces for yourself!
