Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 oz Butterscotch chips
- 1.25 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Salted roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Maple extract
- 3 cups Cornflakes cereal
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Stir in the maple extract to infuse a rich maple flavor.
Add the mini marshmallows to the mixture and fold gently with a spatula. The marshmallows should be fully coated but retain their shape.
Add the salted roasted peanuts and cornflakes cereal, folding gently to ensure even distribution. Be careful not to crush the cereal too much.
Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish and press it down gently with the back of a spatula to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are fully set and firm to the touch.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
