make it
Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in margarine and 1 teaspoon vanilla until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Press firmly on bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Top evenly with marshmallows; bake 2 minutes longer or until marshmallows begin to puff. Remove from oven; cool.
Meanwhile, in heavy saucepan, over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter chips; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Spread evenly over marshmallows. Chill thoroughly. Cut into bars. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
