- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened, divided
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups peanut-butter flavored baking chips
- 2/3 cup corn syrup

- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter; mix well. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle marshmallows over top and return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until marshmallows begin to melt; set aside.
