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
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly with nonstick spray.
Step 2
Spread 1 1/2 cups of the salted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter chips.
Step 4
Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the mini marshmallows until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the marshmallow mixture evenly over the peanuts in the baking dish and spread it out with a spatula.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of salted peanuts evenly over the top, pressing gently to help them stick.
Step 8
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours for quicker setting.
Step 9
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
