Payday Bars

Incredibly good!! Made some of these over the Xmas Holidays and everyone ohhed & ahhed. I actually like these better than the candy bars..they are softer and they were oh so easy to make. This is a keeper for me. Thnx so much for sharing this recipe.

These were sooo yummy and addicting! I brought them to work and everyone kept going back for more! I ended up hiding some so i would have some left over for me! i took another reviewers advice and kept them in the freezer after refrigerating them over night because when they sat out they became sticky. if you are going to put them on a platter, i would spray it with pam first to keep it from sticking. A co-worker suggested dipping the bottoms in chocolate, which would help. Thanks so much, this was so easy and great!

These bars tasted very good. However, I had a terrible time with them sticking to everything! First, I had them in the fridge overnight and they wouldn't come out of the pan or stay together and stuck to the serving platter (the entire bottom of the bar was stuck to the platter), what a mess! I put the leftovers in the freezer, this did help with the stickiness some but then they didn't taste as good. Moreover, all of my marshmallows conglomerated in one place, leaving some pieces without any marshmallows at all. I followed the recipe as directed and didn't substitute anything. *Update, I've made these a couple more times and found that if you completely cover the bottom of the pan with the peanuts (takes more than 1/2 jar) than stickiness is not such an issue and I keep them in the freezer. I also let the mixture cool just a few minutes before adding the marshmallows so they don't stick together and then just barely stir them in before dumping them over the peanuts.

These bars had a very nice flavor and went over okay. I personally loved the sweet and salty mixture. The adults seemed to like this more than the kids (at a party); athough, I'm not sure why. I heard several people say they tasted like a payday and they weren't even told the name of these bars! I am not much of a marshmallow fan at all, but I have to say, I liked these. I will probably only make these for functions/get-togethers since my kids didn't enjoy them much and so I won't eat the entire pan! Thanks for sharing.

I was looking for something a little different to take to a picnic and happened onto this recipe. If I didn't know any better, I would SWEAR I was eating a Payday, except this is a little softer (as Anita said) and tastes much fresher. I substituted butter for the margarine, and buttered my offset spatula to get the mixture evenly spread. I'm thinking about trying this next time with honey roasted peanuts. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These were good, but I wasn't a fan of the chunks of marshmallow. I'm going to try melting the marshmallows and see how I like it that way :)

Thank you for sharing!

Loved these! Made exactly as printed and they were a hit. Served these in small squares with my Christmas Cookies and they were a nice addition to the sweet cookies. Great recipe, super easy and will be making them again. Thank you for posting.

These didn't taste anything like Payday bars. They weren't bad, but they weren't great. I won't be making them again.

These were so easy to make and tastes good! I had left over peanuts from the holidays from making peanut brittle and made a batch of these. They were gone in no time! Thanks!

I made these to take to work for a bake sale. They were a huge hit and people are still talking about them. They were so good! Thanks for a super easy recipe that I will make again and again.

Made these for my grandchildren to try and they were crazy about them. Had to hide them in the cupboard so they didn't eat too many at once. You know how kids are! They didn't last too long though as the adults were into them too. They were delicious! Thanks for posting Nnreg!

RAVE reviews! everyone who tried it liked it. i used the regular salted roasted peanuts which seemed weird, but it worked out well. also SO easy to make!! i took them to the carolina cup and they traveled better than i ever thought and cut very cleanly. perfect for tailgating! thanks

These could not have been easier to make with such few ingredients and so quick. I used wax paper as suggested to press into the pan and it work great. Wonderful treat for my family as well as my parents who just loaned us their generator and radio with the latest storm in Northern Ca. Try it you'll like it.

This was super easy to make. I liked it very much. DH wants me to try it with chocolate chips next time. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely recipe.

I would give these ten stars if I could. I made these as a part of my Christmas treat selection this year and they were a hit! They don't taste exactly like a payday (not as tough nougat consistency) but they taste GREAT, nonetheless! DH wasn't crazy about them, but he doesn't like Payday bars either. He said they would be better with some sort of chocolate component. I will most definitely add this to my collection and make time and time again.
