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
- 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.
- 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
- Let the peanut butter mixture cool for 5 minutes so it doesn’t melt the marshmallows.
- Gently fold in the rainbow mini marshmallows until they’re evenly coated.
Step 4: Press and Chill

- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the squares are firm.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the squares into 16 even pieces.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
