Ingredients
Instructions
- Butter a 9 x 13-inch pan and sprinkle half of the dry roasted peanuts on the bottom.
- Melt the margarine and peanut butter chips together.
- Add Eagle Brand milk and stir until well combined.
- Add marshmallows and stir until coated and melted.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over the peanuts in the pan and press down.
- Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top and press down gently.
- Allow to cool, then cut into small pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. You can substitute almond butter for a nutty twist, or use dark chocolate chips in place of peanut butter chips for a different flavor profile. Make sure to coat the marshmallows thoroughly to prevent sticking. If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly toast the peanuts before adding them to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These Salted Nut Rolls make a delightful treat for parties or movie nights. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or hot cocoa. For a fun twist, serve them alongside slices of Pineapple Upside-Down Cake(A Light Moist Cake With A Tangy Fruit Topping) for a dessert spread that will delight guests. They can also be enjoyed as a sweet snack anytime.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain freshness, you can also refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving. If you want to reheat, microwave in short intervals until just warm; be careful not to overheat, as the marshmallows can become too soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut?
Absolutely! While dry roasted peanuts are traditional, you can easily swap them for almonds, cashews, or even pecans depending on your preference. Just ensure that any nuts you choose are roasted and unsalted for the best flavor integration into the dessert.
How can I make these bars more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, you can mix in chocolate chips with the peanut butter chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the top before it sets. This will add a delicious layer of richness that complements the sweetness of the marshmallow and the saltiness of the peanuts.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, these treats can be made ahead of time! In fact, they often taste even better after sitting for a day as the flavors meld together. Just ensure they are stored properly in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming stale.
