Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes, then gently fold in the mini marshmallows and crispy rice cereal.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the Peanut Butter Scotchies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once firm, transfer the Scotchies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for prolonged freshness.
