Notes
The step of freezing the marshmallows helps keep them from melting when the warm peanut butter mixture is added. If you don't have a freezer-safe pan or you skip the freezing step, the melted mixture will need to sit for more than one minute before adding to the marshmallows so that the marshmallows don't melt.
Be careful if using a glass or pyrex dish as you will be pouring a warm mixture into the frozen marshmallows. The temperature difference could cause it to crack.
When adding the peanut butter mixture to the marshmallows, you'll want to stir to make sure the marshmallows are distributed throughout the bars.
