Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 package 250g mini marshmallows (rainbow or plain)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and butter over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Once the mixture has cooled, fold in the marshmallows and vanilla extract. Stir gently but quickly to avoid melting the marshmallows completely.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  6. Remove from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Freezing the marshmallows before adding them to the mixture will prevent them from melting into the peanut butter mixture.
  • You can substitute butterscotch chips with chocolate chips if you prefer a chocolatey twist.
  • For a crunchier texture, you can add Rice Krispies or chopped nuts like peanuts or almonds.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
