Ingredients
Base
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 bag (300g) butterscotch chips
Mix-in
- 4-5 cups rainbow marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together the butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips. Stir occasionally until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Cool Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature to avoid melting the marshmallows when added.
- Add Marshmallows: Stir in the 4 to 5 cups of rainbow marshmallows gently until they are fully coated with the peanut butter and butterscotch mixture.
- Set in Pan: Pour the marshmallow batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Chill to Harden: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the squares to set and harden for about 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- You can freeze the bars for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving for best texture.
