Have you ever wondered what happens when you melt chocolate and peanut butter together and then stir in a truckload of mini marshmallows?

No? Well, that’s okay. I DID wonder what would happen and I DO love to experiment in the kitchen, so here we are…

These marshmallow bars are seriously so easy to make with just 4 ingredients and you won’t even need to turn the oven on. I love easy no bake desserts like this!

We topped these off with the funky green, purple, and orange m&m’s, but you could also use Reese’s Pieces or Halloween sprinkles. Kinda digging the idea of using the little candy eyeball sprinkles in here too! Wouldn’t that be creepy?

Peanut Butter – Some creamy peanut butter melted together with chocolate is the perfect base for these Halloween marshmallow bars.

Chocolate- Melted milk chocolate chips will hold all the other good stuff together in this recipe!

Mini Marshmallows – If the chocolate peanut butter flavor wasn’t enough, these soft mini marshmallows add even more flavor and texture to the bars!

Halloween Candies – We love M&Ms so I used Halloween themed candies for these treats, but you could easily sub those for just about any candy topping!

FAQs:

How to store dessert bars?

These Halloween marshmallow bars are best kept in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. They will last up to a week.

Are these super sweet?

Surprisingly, no! The semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter pair perfectly with the soft marshmallows for a treat that is rich, but not overly so. The texture is great too – just the right amount of soft and chewy!
