SALTED PEANUT CHEWS 
1 1/2 c. flour
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. softened butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 egg yolks
3 c. miniature marshmallows

TOPPING:

2/3 c. corn syrup
1/4 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
12 oz. peanut butter chips
2 c. Rice Krispies
2 c. salted peanuts

Combine all crust ingredients except marshmallows. Mix on low speed until crumbly. Press firmly in bottom of ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes (until golden brown). Immediately sprinkle with marshmallows, return to oven for 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping.

In large saucepan heat corn syrup, 1/4 cup butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla and peanut butter chips until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly (this can be done in a microwave). Remove from heat, stir in cereal and nuts. Spoon warm topping over marshmallows and spread to cover. Refrigerate until firm and cut into bars.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
