Payday Cookie Bars - Every little bit helps out

In this day and age, every little bit of income counts. So this week I am offering a deal to my readers. I will give you a great recipe for a cookie that tastes like the Payday Candy Bar and you will help me grow my own "Pay days" (aka help me make more money). My income from my t-shirts has been down, so I am drumming up business the old fashion way. All you have to do is send a link to my blog to all your fellow baking friends. You can also help me network through my My Space site. If you can, sign up. Then all your friends can see how cool The Baker Babe is! Enjoy!

Payday Cookie Bars

1 yellow cake mix
1/4 cup softened margarine
1 egg
3 cups miniature marshmallows
2/3 cup white corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons margarine
12 oz peanut butter chips
2 cups salted peanuts
2 cups rice crispies

Blend cake mix, softened margarine and egg together. Place in an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes. Spread marshmallows evenly over baked mixture. Turn oven off and put pan back in the oven to help the marshmallows melt. In a saucepan over low heat, mix corn syrup, 2 tablespoons margarine, vanilla and peanut butter chips together until melted. Add peanuts and cereal. Mix well and spread evenly over marshmallows. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars.
