Salted Peanut Bar Dawn Rutowski

Base: 1 pkg. yellow cake mix

1/3 cup margarine

1 egg

3 cups mini marshmallows

Heat oven to 350. In large bowl combine all base ingredients except marshmallows, until crumbly. Press in bottom of ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows over cake mixture. Return to oven until marshmallows puff up. Make sure they are melted so they adhere to cake.

Topping:

¼ cup margarine

2 teaspoons vanilla

12 oz. pkg. peanut butter chips

2 cups rice crispy cereal

2 cups salted peanuts (dry roasted)

In large saucepan, heat corn syrup, margarine, vanilla and chips just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and stir in cereal and nuts immediately. Spoon warm topping over marshmallows. Spread and cool. Cut into bars and store covered.
