Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Be sure it’s at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips Go for a good brand like Ghirardelli or Nestle.
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter Smooth peanut butter works best.
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows Use fresh marshmallows; stale ones can be too chewy.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter, butterscotch chips, and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to cool.
  4. Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows until they are fully coated in the butterscotch-peanut butter mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it into an even layer.
  6. Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
  7. Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut them into squares.

Notes

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for about a week. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
