Homemade Payday Bars

    Oh man! Payday. The best day of the week! There's the reason that they gave the name to these bars of peanuty goodness. This homemade version of peanuts and nougat is a little less dense. Which, I like. They're not so hard. Super easy, super tasty!

Homemade Payday Bars

Ingredients:

- 1 bag (10 ounce) of peanut butter chips

- 1 can (14 ounce) of sweetened condensed milk

- 3 tablespoons of butter

- 2 cups of mini marshmallows

- 3 cups of dry roasted peanuts, salted and divided

    Butter the bottom and side of a 9x13 baking dish. If you want your bars to be a little thicker, use a 7x11 baking dish. Then, cover the bottom of the pan with half of the peanuts. In a medium sized heavy bottomed pot, melt the peanut butter chips and butter over medium heat. Add in the sweetened condensed milk and then the marshmallows. Stir until completely melted and combined. Pour the mixture over the peanuts in the baking dish and top with the remaining peanuts. Chill unti they are set, slice, and enjoy.
