Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz) bag peanut butter chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup roasted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the peanut butter chips, mini marshmallows, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until all the ingredients have melted completely and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Divide Mixture: Evenly spoon or pour the melted peanut butter mixture into the cups of a mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle roasted peanuts evenly on top of each filled muffin cup, pressing slightly if needed to ensure they stick to the surface.
  4. Freeze to Set: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and let the Payday Bites set for at least 2 hours until firm and solidified.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the bites from the muffin tin and enjoy your homemade Payday Bites as a sweet, nutty snack.

Notes

  • Use a silicone mini muffin tin or grease the tin well to ensure bites release easily.
  • For a crunchier texture, lightly toast the peanuts before adding.
  • Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Allow bites to thaw a few minutes at room temperature before eating for a softer texture.
