Easy Homemade Payday Bars
Just about every day something happens, or is said, that I make a mental note of to blog about. Sometimes I remember, but most of the time I don’t. There are times I even write it down and then look at the note later and have absolutely no idea what it means!
All I know for sure is these Homemade Payday Candy Bars are way better than the actual store bought version! I love these because they aren’t super sweet, they are made with real ingredients, and they work as a perfect snack or just the right sweet treat after a meal!
If you love snacking, then I think you’ll love Puppy Chow , S’mores Energy Bites , Chia Seed Energy Balls , and Monster Cookie Energy Balls , too!

What You’ll Need
3 cups Salted Peanuts
2 tbsp Butter
1 (10 oz) bag Peanut Butter Chips
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
10 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (About 3/4 can)

How to Make Homemade Payday Candy Bars
Spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.
Pour 1 cup salted peanuts into the pan. Spread around to cover the bottom.
Melt 2 tbsp butter and 1 (10 oz) bag peanut butter chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy. Mix in 3/4 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups mini marshmallows. Continually stir until well combined.
Pour over peanuts in the pan.
Top with, and press in, remaining peanuts evenly and let cool.
Refrigerate until firm before slicing.
