Directions

2. Add Peanut Butter: Stir the peanut butter into the melted mixture until fully combined and smooth.
3. Mix in Peanuts: Gently fold in the roasted peanuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Pour and Set: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, then pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about an hour, or refrigerate for faster setting.
5. Slice and Serve: Once firm, lift the parchment paper to remove the nougat slab from the dish. Slice into bars and enjoy!

Notes

• Storage: Store these nougat bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
• Flavor Variations: Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or hazelnut spread for a different flavor profile, or try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.
• Additional Mix-ins: For added texture, fold in mini chocolate chips or dried cranberries along with the peanuts.
• Microwave Tips: Be cautious when melting the marshmallows and chocolate chips to avoid scorching. Stir frequently for a smooth mixture.
