Peanut Mallow Bars

1 package yellow cake mix

2 tablespoons water

1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 egg

4 cups mini marshmallows

Peanut Topping:

1 package peanut butter chips

2/3 cup light corn syrup (can use dark)

1/4 cup butter or margarine

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups crisp rice cereal

2 cups salted peanuts

Preheat oven to 350.

Beat cake mix, butter, and egg until blended. (Batter will be thick.) Spread into a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Bake for 22-25 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows. Bake 2 minutes longer. Place on wire rack while preparing topping.

In saucepan, combine peanut butter chips, corn syrup, and butter. Cook and stir on med-low heat until melted and smooth. (I believe I just melted it in the microwave.) Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, cereal, and peanuts. Spread over marshmallows. Cool completely. Cut into squares.

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen
