Ingredients
Scale
- For an 8×8 pan:
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 250 g bag colored mini marshmallows
- For a 9×13 pan (doubling the recipe):
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 375 g bag colored mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt the butter and peanut butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over LOW heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add butterscotch chips: Once the butter and peanut butter have melted together, stir in the butterscotch chips. Continue stirring until the butterscotch chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cool the mixture: Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes. If the mixture is too hot, let it rest briefly, as it can cause the marshmallows to sink.
- Add marshmallows: Once the mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the mini marshmallows until they are well coated.
- Press into the pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and evenly press the mixture into the pan. If doubling the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan, use the same method but adjust the marshmallow amount.
- Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator to cool and set for 1-2 hours. Once set, remove from the pan and cut into squares.
Notes
- Tip: Ensure the butterscotch mixture is not too hot when adding the marshmallows. If it’s too warm, the marshmallows will sink to the bottom.
- Doubling the recipe: If doubling the recipe, use a 9×13-inch pan and reduce the marshmallows to 1.5 bags for the right consistency.
