Peanutty Candy Corn Cereal Bars

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 5 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
• 6 cups honey nut-flavored cereal squares (such as Honey Nut Chex)
• 2 cups candy corn
• 1/2 cup peanuts

Directions

Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Cook and stir margarine and peanut butter together in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 4 cups marshmallows to margarine mixture; cook and stir until marshmallows are melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.

Stir cereal squares into marshmallow mixture until fully coated and slightly cooled; fold in candy corn, peanuts, and remaining 1 cup marshmallows. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing down in an even layer with buttered hands or a buttered wooden spoon. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
