Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until it is warm but no longer hot, to avoid melting the marshmallows.
Gently fold in the mini rainbow marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly coated in the butterscotch mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently to create an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the square out of the dish. Cut into 16 pieces and serve chilled or at room temperature.
