Equipment

  • Medium glass or metal bowl
  • Medium pot
  • 9x9 square pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 12 oz butterscotch chips
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 10 oz 1 package of mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler over low to medium heat, melt butterscotch chips, butter, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Make sure to stir frequently and avoid heating too much. This will cause the butterscotch chips to not melt properly.
  • Once melted, remove from heat immediately. I like to watch for about 5-10 chips remaining and turn off the heat. The remaining chips will melt due to the residual heat. Fold in mini marshmallows.
  • Quickly pour into tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate until firm. About 1-2 hours.
  • Cut and serve.
