Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pan: Spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Brown the Butter: Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Melt the Marshmallows: Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the browned butter. Stir until completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the Peanut Butter: Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup of smooth peanut butter until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the Cornflakes: Gently fold in 4 cups of cornflake cereal, ensuring they are evenly coated, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Press the Mixture: Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and firmly press into corners.
  7. Cool the Bars: Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
