    In a double boiler, melt peanut butter, butter and marshmallows until well blended stirring frequently to avoid sticking Be patient, this seems to take forever
  • 3
    Place all other ingredients in a large bowl and mix together
  • 4
    When peanut butter mixture is smooth (it will be sticky), pour over other ingredients and quickly mix well
  • 5
    Pour into greased serving dish 9x13 and cut into squares Allow to cool so they will set up. I'm sure these will last a week or more (although they never seem to last over a couple of days around here).
