Peanut Squares

Today's recipe is for the Peanut Squares, which is the candy on the right of the plate. This recipe is so easy that I really didn't expect it to be so good, but it sure is. Blessings...

Recipe:

3 cups dry roasted peanuts
2-1/2 tbsps. butter
2 cups (12 oz. pkg,) semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups miniature marshmallows

1. Place half the peanuts in an ungreased 11" x 7" x 2" baking pan; set aside.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat. Remove from the heat.
3. Add milk and marshmallows; stir until melted. Pour over peanuts.
4. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top and gently press down a bit. Refrigerate until chilled through and set. Cut into squares. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.

Yield: 4-5 dozen pieces
