Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 cups peanut butter (smooth)
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter and butterscotch chips to the saucepan, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth. Be sure not to overheat the mixture to avoid it seizing.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5–7 minutes, until it is warm but no longer hot to the touch. This prevents the marshmallows from melting completely.
Step 6
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing gently with a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
