Caramel Marshmallow Bars

Calling all chocolate lovers. . .

and peanut lovers. . .

marshmallow lovers too. . .

and oh yes, caramel lovers.

Maybe I should just say

calling all sweet treat lovers!

I definitely fit into that category :)

Have I got a tasty dessert for you and it's loaded with lots of sweet goodness.

Here is the recipe, my friends.

Crumb mixture:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts

Filling:

3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

1/2 cup salted peanuts

1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

For crumb mixture, in a small mixing bowl combine flour,

graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter and salt.

Beat at low speed, scraping the bowl often, until mixture is crumbly,

about 1 to 2 minutes. 

Stir in nuts .

Reserve 3/4 cup crumb mixture.

Press remaining mixture on the bottom of a greased and floured
9-inch square baking pan.
Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

For filling, spread caramel topping evenly over hot crust.
Sprinkle nuts, marshmallows and chocolate chips over top.
Crumble 3/4 cup reserved crumb mixture over top.
Continue baking 10 - 12 minutes
or until marshmallows just start to brown.
Cool on a rack for about 30 minutes.
Cover and refrigerate 1 - 2 hours or until firm.
Cut into bars and enjoy.
Makes about 30 bars
{if you cut them small}.

Ooey, gooey, sweet goodness. . .it doesn't get much better than that :)

Have a beautiful weekend, sweet friends.
Sending love and hugs your way!
