MALLOW BARS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.

• Cream butter and sugar, then mix in egg and vanilla extract.
• Stir in the dry ingredients, mixing well.
• Spread in a 8" greased pan. Bake @ 350* for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Cover with marshmallows, cut side down, pressing in slightly. Return to oven to melt slightly, 2-4 minutes.
• TOPPING: Combine all ingredients except the vanilla, and bring to a boil.
• Cook until soft ball stage, 238*F (or when a small amount of mixture dropped from a spoon into cold water forms a "soft ball").
• Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. DO NOT STIR!
• After the 5 minutes, beat in the vanilla until mixture is of spreading consistency. Spread over marshmallow layer & cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, butter, and egg until well blended. Spread into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the marshmallows over the top. Return to the oven for about 2 minutes, just to melt the marshmallows together. Remove from the oven, and place pan on a wire rack to cool.
• In a saucepan, combine the peanut butter chips, corn syrup, and butter. Stir over medium-low heat until melted and well blended. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla, rice cereal and peanuts. Spread in an even layer over the marshmallows. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
