SALTED NUT ROLL | Sngine-YND

These Salted Nut Roll Bars are so easy to make and an absolute hit! Great addition to any gathering.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We have always been big fans of the Payday Candy Bar, and this is pretty much the homemade version. We all agree it’s even better and that it’s only a few ingredients that make it an even bigger winner! You can make these in about 15 minutes and then just put them in the refrigerator to chill. We have made these for a few gatherings and so easy, just cut them in small pieces and enjoy!

SWAPS

We once made these with fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and they turned out good. You can also add in some Reese’s Pieces on the top if you like, or M&M’s. We like them made the original way but they are versatile. Some people use other nuts like pecans and switch up the peanut butter chips for butterscotch or chocolate, but if you want them to taste like payday, stick with this recipe.

⭐TIP

These can be hard right out of the fridge, so we set them out for 5-10 minutes and then cut them. You can freeze them in an air-tight container up to a few months, just thaw and enjoy.

Prep Time 15 minutes

2 hours

Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Course candy

Cuisine American

4 tablespoons butter
1 10 ounce bag peanut butter chips (like chocolate chips but made of peanut butter)
2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (I used the fat free and it worked fine in this recipe)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 16 ounce jar dry roasted and salted peanuts (divided)

In a pan on top of the stove melt the butter and chips together. Add in marshmallows and milk and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Turn heat down to a low boil and cook for 5 minutes stirring the entire time. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Spray a 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray and put half the peanuts in the bottom of the dish. Pour melted ingredients over the peanuts and spread to cover. Add the other half of the peanuts to the top and kind of mash into the cooked ingredients. Refrigerate for at least a couple hours.
Remove and cut into squares or bars. Makes 1 to 1 1/2 dozen pieces depending on size you cut them.
