Salted Peanut Bars



















Salted Peanut Bars
2 1/4 cups coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts
14 ounces store-bought soft caramels, unwrapped
1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides, then lightly coat parchment with more cooking spray.
Cover paper with 1 1/4 cups peanuts.
In a medium pot, combine 1 tablespoon water, caramels, marshmallows and vanilla over mediumm heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until caramels and marshmallows melt and mixture is smooth, about 8 minutes. Immediately pour over peanuts, then top with remaining 1 cup peanuts. Let cool until set, about 2 hours, then cut into 32 bars.
