    Butterscotch Confetti Squares are one of those addictive treats that are so quick and simple to make and taste totally awesome! This treat is something we probably all had as children, but still love as adults.

    One big tip I have when making Butterscotch Confetti Squares is to make sure the butter-peanut butter mix isn't too hot prior to adding the butterscotch chips. I have done this, and instead of being smooth and creamy it tasty grainy  because the sugars crystallized.

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ cup peanut butter smooth
    • ¼ cup butter
    • 1 package (10 oz) butterscotch chips
    • 1 bag (10 oz size) miniature marshmallows coloured/flavoured variety

    Instructions
     

    • Put marshmallows in large bowl
    • Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan on LOW heat, just until melted! Do  not overheat.
    • Remove from heat. Make sure mixture is not too hot before adding butterscotch chips or it will crystallize. (I stick my finger in to check that is not too hot)
    • Stir in butterscotch chips, continue to stir until all is melted.
    • Fold mixture into bowl of marshmallows. Combine well.
    • Press into 8x8 greased baking pan.
    • Refrigerate until firm.
    • Cut into 16 large squares.

      Didn't have enough butterscotch chips but turned out really awesome. Substituted the butter for crisco but you wouldn't even notice the difference. Love it. Thank you.

      It's the perfect recipe!! Never failed me even once if you follow the directions EXACTLY as written!! You definitely want the mixture to be cool to the touch but not COLD before adding the marshmallows!
