Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups pretzels (broken into small pieces)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each round, until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broken pretzels and mini marshmallows.
Pour the melted butterscotch-peanut butter mixture over the pretzel and marshmallow mixture. Stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Let the treats sit at room temperature for about 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes until they are firm and set.
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
