As you all know I am a sucker for a marshmallow treat.
If it is bound together by marshmallow and butter there is a fair chance that I will eat it.
And I might possibly be addicted to Peanut Butter M&Ms.
It’s just a possibility.
But I dream about them.
I stand and stare at them when I am at the supermarket.
I know that if I buy them I will eat them all. In one night.
I lie to my children about why there are none left in their treat bags…”oh, your dad must have eaten them all..I have no idea”.
I had to attend Peanut Butter M&M rehab.
There was an intervention and everything.
So I want you to know that I am risking my sobriety with these treats.
That’s how much I love you.
With that said, I have combined 2 of my most favorite sweets into one delicious no-bake bar.
And with it being 176° outside right now I do not need a reason to turn on the oven.
You’re welcome.

Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.
I love to put the package of PB M&Ms on my dashboard for a few minutes in direct sunlight. Then, when you eat them, the candy cracks and then the pb and chocolate parts are pure gooey heaven.
that sounds like pure culinary brilliance!
I made these, but substituted Chex Mix Traditional, for the Rice Chex, you know, for the sweet/salty flavor. They were a BIG hit. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Great idea!!
I can attest to the greatness of the idea since Terry is my mom and I ate more than I intended or that yummy treat.
hahaaa, so so funny 🙂
Congrats on the new site! Looks fabulous love!

Love, love, love the new site Shelly. It’s gorgeous!!! Congratulations on the move.

I liked your old look better, but this is cute too!
this is my kind of dessert too! I have a few bags of m&ms in my freezer–perfect 🙂
I have no willpower when it comes to pb m&ms! Sheesh this looks crazy good.
Yum yum and more yum. Good grief!
great treat for a HOT day 🙂
