2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients. Gradually add to creamed mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows and bake 2 to 3 minutes longer. Cool.

For topping, combine corn syrup, butter and chips in a saucepan over medium heat until all has melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, cereal, peanuts, Rice Krispies and M&M's. Spread over crust. Cool completely before cutting.
