Ingredients 🛒

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 🧈
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter 🥜
  • 1 bag (10 oz / ~6 cups) rainbow mini marshmallows 🌈
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips 🍬
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions 🥄

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

  • Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2: Melt the Peanut Butter Mixture

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and butterscotch chips together, stirring constantly until smooth.
    • Be careful not to overheat, or the mixture could seize.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Marshmallows

  2. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the squares are firm.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  1. Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place it on a cutting board.
  2. Use a sharp knife to cut the squares into 16 even pieces.
  3. Serve chilled and enjoy!
