Christmas Goodies-Salted Nut Bars

I just had to show you a closer peek!

Salted Nut Bars

1 yellow cake mix
1/3 butter
1 egg
3 cup mini marshmallows
12 oz bag of peanut butter chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter-softened 
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups salted peanuts
2 cups Rice Krispies

Mix yellow cake mix, 1/3 cup of butter and egg. Press into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 °. Pour marshmallows on the cake and bake about 3 minutes or until marshmallows puff up. Melt in saucepan the peanut butter chips, corn syrup and 1/4 cup of butter. Remove and add vanilla. Stir the  melted chip mix and and the peanuts and Rice Krispies together and spread over the marshmallows. Cool and cut into bars.

These goodies are wonderful and chewy. I couldn't wait until the cooled treats were set up, so I stuck the pan in the refrigerator.  Cheater LOL...this got 4 thumbs up from my "official" taste testers-- so this recipe will go into the permanent cookie file as fast, easy and delicious! I found this recipe on Linda Beeson's blog back in November.
