Salted Peanut Chews

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter.

Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Sprinkle with marshmallows and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until marshmallows begin to melt; set aside.

In a large saucepan, cook and stir the peanut butter chips, corn syrup, vanilla and remaining butter until smooth.

Remove from the heat; stir in cereal and peanuts.

Pour over prepared crust, spreading to cover.

Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
