Unpossible's Salted Peanut Chews

Which sound unpossibly delicious. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm weak!) Thanks for sharing, unpossible!

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 egg yolks

* 3 cups mini marshmallows

* 2/3 cup corn syrup
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1 (12 oz.) package peanut butter chips
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 2 cups crispy rice cereal
* 2 cups salted peanuts

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the first group of ingredients, I usually use a hand mixer, and press the mixture into an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown.

Remove from oven and spread marshmallows evenly on top of baked base layer. Return to oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let the pan cool.

In a large saucepan, heat corn syrup, butter, vanilla and peanut butter chips, stirring consistency, until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the cereal and peanuts.

Spoon warm topping over the marshmallows and base layer and spread evenly.

Allow time to cool. I usually put the pan in the fridge for a couple hours. Remove from pan and cut into squares.

That should be it. Enjoy!
