Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and butter together, stirring consistently until smooth and fully melted.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 2 minutes) before gently folding in the mini marshmallows and rice cereal. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
