Main Ingredients
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients and soften your butter at room temperature to make mixing easier.
- Combine Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well blended.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture for consistent flavor and texture.
- Mix in Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a dough-like consistency perfect for shaping.
- Press Into Pan and Chill: Transfer the mixture into a lined or greased baking dish and press firmly to create an even layer. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the bars to set firmly.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut into squares or bars. Enjoy immediately or store for later indulgence.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure easier mixing and smooth texture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the bars hold together without crumbling.
- Chilling thoroughly in the refrigerator helps bars firm up and allows for cleaner slices.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting the mixture before chilling and adding more powdered sugar if desired.
- Store bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent dryness.
