This was really good. My husband was having 16 guys over for a poker party last weekend, and I decided to try this recipe out on them. Needless to say, the bars were gone instantly, and I have requests to make these again for the next get-together. Next time I make these, I will try to make them with chocolate cake mix.

What a fun recipe! This is definitely a bar recipe and not a cake. I used 1/2 cup more marshmallows than it called for (personal preference). Awesome taste, much better than a Payday candy bar. I highly recommend this recipe, it is rich and chewy and yummy!

I've made other desserts like this that turned out with a hard crust, but this turned out soooo soft. Be careful when pouring the topping mixture over the marshmallows, or you might cave in the middle. I had marshmallows coming up the sides of the pan, so next time when I pour on the topping, I'll do it slowly and in spoonfuls along the edges first then work my way in. Also! The bag of peanut butter chips wasn't enough, so I added peanut butter to that mixture and a little more corn syrup too.

The bar cake turned out very well but even in a tupperware it became very hard very fast. It only took a few days for it to lose the softness.

I love these bars. I made them for a church lunch. They were gone before I could get one. (Good thing I had saved a few at the house) Several people asked me for the recipe. I made these bars many years ago, but they were called something else. I'm glad I found them here again!

Fun to make and tastes like my favorite candy bar! I plan at looking at all of Suzanne Stull's recipes. I love the 2 I've done so far!!!! I have to add to this review. I've made these bars too many times to count now. People absolutely rave about them. I'm known for my baking and I'd say these rank on the very tippy top of my best. The most wonderful thing is that they are easy!

Not sure where the "cake" portion of the title came from because these are definitely bars. And good ones! The regular bags of PB chips are 1 2/3 c. but I found that you really need the additional 1/3 c. to cover all of the marshmallows.
