👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Line a pan: Use an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square pan. Line with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Melt base: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips together. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes (important so the marshmallows don’t melt).
3. Add marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows until evenly coated.
4. Press & chill: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down gently with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
5. Slice & serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!
