Marshmallow & Peanut Butter Cake Cookie Bars

Girl Scout Season is here! Yay for my taste buds but boo for my waistline because that means I am adding Girl Scout Cookies to everything including my new Toasted Marshmallow Peanut Butter Cake Bars. Let me paint the picture for you. Imagine sinking your teeth into an ultra chewy cake-y cookie like consistency-half way between a rice krispie treat and blondie. The toasted marshmallows mixed right into the dough give the best texture and not to mention rich taste.

How to Roast Marshmallows in The Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. then back to 350 for bars and line 2 large baking sheets with a silpat liner or parchment paper. I used the half sheet size.
  2. Place marshmallows into the center of your baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until nice and golden on the tops and puffed. Remove and reduce oven’s temperature to 350.

How To Make Peanut Butter Cake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cake mix, butter, oil, egg, chocolate chips and quartered Tagalongs into a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Stir in toasted marshmallows, only stir to combine gently, you don’t want to mix too much. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet and press evenly, don’t spread to edges, just within the border is fine.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cook for 30 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve and Enjoy!

    HI Jenny,
    Just FYI- your written directions differ from your step by step pictures. The written steps say to add the marshmallows last, after the chocolate chips and cookies. But your pictures has it the other way around. I noticed that as making and didn’t think it would make a difference, but adding hot marshmallows to chocolate chips MELTS them. Did not turn out as nicely pictured as your:(

    I’m about to make these and am just going to chop up pb cups instead of the cookies….yum! I don’t have the jumbo marshmallows so I’m going to have to guess with reg ones.

    Hi there. I’m not too crazy about peanut butter, what can I substitute for it? Replaced it with butter? Thank you so much in advance.

    1. Jenny

      Hi Helen, instead of substituting peanut butter for butter I would try Almond Butter or Biscoff. 🙂
