Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 2 cups Butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for 3-5 minutes, ensuring it’s not too hot to avoid melting the marshmallows.
Step 4
Once slightly cooled, gently fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring an even coating of the peanut butter mixture.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the candy is firm enough to cut into pieces.
Step 7
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into small squares or bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
