Chocolate Peanut Marshmallow Blondies

I hope you're all not sick of sweets from Easter.  These bars were thrown together on a whim yesterday when I wanted something sweet but not sickeningly sweet.  I love the dense cakey texture of these, and the chocolate, peanut, marshmallow combination.  The peanut butter swirl was a last minute touch, because peanut butter makes everything better.
