Pat's Peanut Butter Marshmallow Candy image

I named this candy Pat's because a lady at my work brings this in, and all I can tell you is one word NUMMY!!!! ok 2 words nummy & addictive!!! **Just a note I made this myself today. I halved the recipe and I did it in the microwave. I melted the chocolate and peanut butter in a huge measuring cup, then had all the other ingredients in a bowl and added the melted ingredients to that. Turned out great!
