Peanut Nut Bars

I've had this recipe for over 20 years? I just dug through my recipe box and re-located it, and made it. It is a yummy one. One bowl in the microwave makes clean-up quick. Definitely a working mom's dream bar!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 48

Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) jar  dry roasted peanuts (salted)
• 14  ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
• 12  ounces  peanut butter chips (I use Reese's)
• 3  cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

1. Spray non-stick 9 x 13 pan. Place half of the nuts in pan.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, place all other ingredients. Microwave until smooth. About 3 minutes on high. Stirring every 90 seconds or so. When all melted, pour over nuts in pan.
3. **Take the other half of nuts and put in a colander to 'shake' off excess salt. Once you do that, then place over the peanut/marshmallow filling. Press down gently. Let stand until firm. About 3-4 hours.
