Base:

1 package Pillsbury Plusyellow cake mix

1/3 cup margarine or butter, softened

1 egg

3 cups miniature marshmallows

2/3 cup corn syrup

One 12-ounce package (2 cups) peanut butter chips

2 cups crisp rice cereal

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine all base ingredients except marshmallows with a mixer at low speed until crumbly. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9-inch pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 12 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping. In a large saucepan, heat corn syrup, margarine, vanilla, and chips just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal and nuts. Immediately spoon warm topping over marshmallows and spread to cover. Chill; cut into bars. Store covered.
