Peanut Mallow Bars

I grew up in New England, Massachusetts to be exact, and that means I grew up on Fluffernutter sandwiches for lunch! If you don’t know what a Fluffernutter is, it is Marshmallow Fluff (not creme) and peanut butter (Skippy Smooth for us) on white bread. Yum! This sandwich cemented my love for the marshmallow-peanut butter flavor combination that I put into my Peanut Mallow Bars.

I’ve been so busy this semester, I hadn’t had time to bake for my Wednesday night class at all. The girls had been begging so I whipped these up over a month ago and I’m finally getting to share them on the blog! Better late than never, right?
