PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW SQUARES
These are so easy to make, and you need four simple ingredients! Great for any gathering!
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe is so easy to make and is delicious! It’s only four simple ingredients and perfect for a small gathering. It’s made in an 8X8 and you can make them the night before too. I think they are actually better the next day. We love the combination of peanut butter and butterscotch, it really goes together well.
SWAPS
Some people like to use chocolate chips instead of the butterscotch. That is an easy switch. You can also use the colored marshmallows if you like! Crunchy or smooth peanut butter works.
⭐TIP
These are great stored in a cool place but we love them cold from the fridge. I don’t know why, but cold they are even better!

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares
Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy or smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter or 4 tablespoons
- 2 cups butterscotch chips I use an 11 ounce bag
- 5 cups miniature marshmallows white or rainbow colored
Instructions
- Melt the peanut butter, butter and butterscotch chips in a pan on top of the stove on low heat until smooth when stirred with a spoon. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the baking dish and let cool for about 15 minutes so the marshmallows will not melt when placed on top. Spread marshmallows on top and gently mash into the peanut butter mixture with the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours and cut into squares.

All these candies look great. I am diabetic and trying to figure how to make them with substitute sugar. I also want to make these for Christmas, for the grandchildren, as the recipes are written!
Can you use milk chocolate chips?
I’m sure you could. Thanks!
