Steps

1

Whisk the dry crust ingredients in medium bowl.
2

Whisk the wet crust ingredients together, then add them to dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
3

Press the crust evenly into a greased 9x13 pan and bake on 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
4

When crust is done, add an even layer of marshmallows to the top and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes.
5

Remove pan from the oven and let cool. Do not skip this step!
6

For the topping, melt the peanut butter chips, butter, karo syrup, and vanilla in a large saucepan on medium low heat.
7

When the mixture is smooth, remove from heat and quickly mix in the Rice Krispies and peanuts. Press the topping mixture into an even layer on top of the marshmallows.
8

Refrigeration is not required, but I like to put the pan in the refrigerator for an hour or so to make it easier to cut through the gooey topping and marshmallows.
