Easy Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares (No-Bake!)
The perfect no-bake treat! These Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares (often called Confetti Squares) combine the rich flavor of butterscotch with creamy peanut butter and fluffy marshmallows.
Ingredients
1/4 cup Butter
1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy works best)
11 oz Butterscotch Chips (one standard bag)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
5 cups Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8″ or 9×9″ inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Combine butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips in a medium saucepan.
3. Melt over low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is completely smooth.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Wait until the mixture has cooled significantly (about 10-15 minutes) before adding the marshmallows. This prevents them from melting completely.
6. Stir until the marshmallows are evenly distributed.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8. Refrigerate until hardened, at least 2 hours, before slicing into squares.
Notes
For the best texture, use fresh marshmallows. If the butterscotch mixture is too hot when you add them, they will melt and you’ll lose that “confetti” look.
