Peanut Butterscotch Squares



"Hello Dolly’s"

Let me start by saying I am not a marshmallow lover. Maybe in the occasional hot chocolate but most definitely not in a treat; not smores and especially not those cheap holiday chocolate coated ones commonly found at grocery check outs.

These squares are my marshmallow exception. I was pretty excited when googling wheat-free treats to stumble across this because it brings me back to my early teens when I snacked far too much and my friend’s mom would make these. Little did I know that they are the simplest, quickest recipe ever! I may have opened Pandora’s Box here folks.

 
Ingredients’:

½ cup butter
1  cup peanut butter
1 (300g) bag of butterscotch chips
1 (200g) bag of mini marshmallows

Combine butter, peanut butter and butterscotch chips together constantly stirring over low heat. Take off heat and let cool a bit before add mashmallows. Place in 11 x 13 dish on parchment paper and refrigerate.
