This vintage copycat recipe for Pay Day Bars is phenomenal. It’s loaded with peanuts and peanut butter chips. Plus it includes marshmallows, a can of sweetened condensed milk and a chocolate shell topping that makes the bars irresistible. On top of that, you’ll never believe that this rich, decadent dessert is gluten free. But it is!

I got this recipe over two decades ago when one of the girls where I worked brought it in for a treat one day. It was incredibly, outrageously, overwhelmingly delicious. No kidding. The recipe got taped into my large 3-ringer binders and kind of got lost along the way. When I made up a Pay Day Chocolate Pie a few months ago, I decided to pull the Pay Day Bars recipe out of mothballs and give it a go. I’m so glad I did.

We have several people in our neighborhood who love peanut everything. Because this dessert is so rich I gave small samples to several neighbors who live nearby. Without exception everyone loved these goodies. This delectable dessert bar is really peanuts on steroids! Every bite will rock your world.

Prepare to swoon when you bring a batch of these Pay Day Bars to your next family gathering, tailgating party or potluck. This gooey dessert is sure to please and everyone will surely want more! Even you. 🙂
