½cuppeanut butter
7cupsmarshmallowsdivided
4cupscorn flakes cereal
½cuppeanuts2 tablespoons reserved
Instructions
Line a 10-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the butter, peanut butter and 5 1/2 cups marshmallows in a large glass bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds at full power. Remove from the microwave and stir until the marshmallows begin to melt and stick together. (If the marshmallows haven't yet melted, microwave an additional 30 seconds, only as needed.)
Add the cereal to the bowl and stir until combined. Stir in the additional marshmallows and the peanuts, reserving peanuts for topping. Scoop the sticky cereal mixture onto the lined pan. Use a lightly buttered spatula or your hands to gently press the mixture across the pan, being careful not to press too firmly. Sprinkle with reserved peanuts. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Store in an airtight container for up 5 days. Enjoy!
