Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 3 cups crispy rice cereal
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with cooking spray. Set it aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the ingredients are fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes.

Step 4

Once smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter and butterscotch mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly and pressing it down gently with a spatula to ensure the surface is flat.

Step 7

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the set mixture into 16 squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
