Marshmallow Layer Bars

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 (16 ounce) package miniature marshmallows, or more to taste
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 (6 ounce) package butterscotch chips
• 1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Beat flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; pour into prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Pour marshmallows over the cake layer and return to oven; bake until the marshmallows puff, about 2 minutes more.

Stir peanut butter and butterscotch chips together in a saucepan over medium heat until melted; add crispy rice cereal. Spread peanut butter mixture over marshmallow layer; cool completely before cutting into bars.
