Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Salted peanuts
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter chips
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly with nonstick spray.
Spread 1 1/2 cups of the salted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter chips.
Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the mini marshmallows until fully incorporated.
Pour the marshmallow mixture evenly over the peanuts in the baking dish and spread it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of salted peanuts evenly over the top, pressing gently to help them stick.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours for quicker setting.
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
