Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir the mixture constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Add the mini marshmallows to the hot butterscotch mixture and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the butterscotch mellows cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the treat into squares or rectangles.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
