Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Square baking pan (8x8)
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup salted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate and butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter together until smooth and fully melted. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Add vanilla extract: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Mix in peanuts and marshmallows: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly (just a few minutes), then fold in the salted peanuts and mini marshmallows until evenly coated.
  • Spread into pan: Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined square baking dish and press it gently into an even layer.
  • Chill until set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
  • Cut and serve: Once set, lift out of the pan using the parchment and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Be sure to let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the marshmallows.
  • Store leftovers chilled for best texture.
  • Easily doubled for a larger crowd.
