Scale

- 2 to 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups dry-roasted salted peanuts (add extra ½ cup if desired)
Instructions

- Fold in peanuts and marshmallows quickly until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Chill for about 2 hours until firm.

Notes
- Use 2 cups marshmallows for more chocolate flavor, 4 cups for extra marshmallow texture. Avoid going over 4 cups.
- You can substitute the peanuts with almonds, walnuts, cashews, or pecans.
- To make it festive, add crushed candy canes or holiday-colored M&Ms.
- For a kid-friendly version, replace nuts with cereal or gummy bears.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before chilling for an extra salty-sweet punch.
- You can melt the chocolate using a slow cooker or double boiler if preferred.
