Pay Day Bars

Teresa Ambra
Pay Day Bars are outrageously good! This amazing vintage copycat recipe is loaded with peanuts and made with Peanut Butter Chips, sweetened condensed milk and marshmallows. They have a chocolate shell coating on top that's irresistible. If you enjoy chocolate and peanut desserts these are marvelous for tailgating parties, potlucks and family gatherings. Gluten free.
