Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, letting some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining for added ease.
In a large saucepan or heatproof bowl set over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring occasionally.
Add the butterscotch chips to the peanut butter mixture and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat to prevent scorching.
Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. This helps prevent melting the marshmallows when added.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press gently to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the pan for approximately 1-2 hours or until the squares are firm and set.
Once chilled, lift the squares out of the pan using the overhanging parchment or foil. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
