It's been a few months since I've posted any new recipes.
Anyhow, I just needed to try this recipe since it was a perfect
combination of salty and sweet. I definitely do not regret making these.
they were the bomb. However, I get the feeling that at least one of my
co-workers weren't to happy with me bringing them in on the account it
may have just ruined their diet for the month.

Ingredients:
Crust:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) yellow cake mix
1 large egg
3 cups mini-marshmallows
Topping:
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 white sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups Rice Crispies cereal
2 cup salted peanuts
1 cup candy corn
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine the butter and cake mix in large bowl.
Beat on low speed until well mixed. Add egg; continue beating until
well mixed.
Press onto bottom of ungreased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. It will be a
really thin layer. I found that using the heel of my hand I could
easily press it evenly across the pan. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or
until set. Remove from oven.
Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over hot, partially baked crust.
Return to oven; continue baking for 1 to 2 minutes or until
marshmallows puff.
Meanwhile, combine corn syrup, sugar and brown sugar in large saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil (2 to 4
minutes). Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla until
smooth. Stir in cereal and peanuts. Mixture with be thick. Immediately
spoon over marshmallows and spread to cover. I pressed the mixture down
into the marshmallow. Quickly sprinkle the candy corns on top and press
them down into the bars. Cool completely. Cut into small bars.
