Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 package (11 ounces) butterscotch chips
- 5 cups colored miniature marshmallows
Instructions:
-
Melt Margarine and Peanut Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the margarine and creamy peanut butter together over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting and prevent sticking.
-
Incorporate Butterscotch Chips: Once the margarine and peanut butter are melted and well combined, gradually add the butterscotch chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will infuse the mixture with a delectable butterscotch flavor.
-
Allow to Cool Slightly: After melting the chips, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. This step is crucial to ensure that the marshmallows do not melt when added in the next step.
-
Add Marshmallows: Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add the colored miniature marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure that all the marshmallows are evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture. The vibrant colors of the marshmallows will add a festive touch to the squares.
-
Press into Pan: Line a 9-inch square pan with waxed paper for easy removal. Transfer the butterscotch and marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly press the mixture into the pan, creating a smooth and compact layer.
-
Chill in Refrigerator: Place the pan of Butterscotch Confetti squares in the refrigerator to chill and set. This will take approximately 1 hour. Chilling allows the squares to firm up, making them easier to cut into neat, uniform portions.
-
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the pan from the refrigerator and lift the Butterscotch Confetti slab out using the edges of the waxed paper. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares. Serve and enjoy these delightful treats with friends and family!
