# Ingredients Required:

10 - 198 grams marshmallow fluff

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and position the oven rack in the middle.
02 - Line a 23x33 cm pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang, or lightly grease aluminum foil.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt until evenly mixed.
04 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown and white sugars until soft and creamy.
05 - Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the egg and egg yolk, until the mixture is smooth.
06 - With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, mixing halfway at a time.
07 - Spoon about 1 cup (approximately 240 grams) of batter into a separate bowl.
08 - Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a uniform layer.
09 - Bake the peanut butter layer in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the surface appears fully set.
10 - Remove the pan from the oven and keep the oven on. Carefully spread the entire jar of marshmallow fluff evenly over the baked layer.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure butter is properly softened to facilitate even mixing.
02 - Lining the pan with parchment paper simplifies bar removal.
03 - Baking times may vary; bars should be set but not overly browned.
