Love or hate them, everyone’s mom used to make these. They are peanut butter bars that have fruit-flavoured mini marshmallows in them. They made an appearance only once a year, usually around the holidays, and they seem to be very much like raisins, you either love them or hate them.

I decided to add them to the Christmas menu this year, Kevin and I had the debate if people would actually order these or if they would just be added and only one person would order them. I am happy to say that they were a larger hit than either Kevin or I could have imagined! There was one afternoon I had to send Kevin out to scour for fruit-flavoured mini marshmallows.

If you love these here is the recipe that I used for these peanut butter bars, I hope you enjoy them!

Ingredients

1 package butterscotch chips 300g package (I used Chipits)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup butter

250g rainbow miniature marshmallows, about 5 cups

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Put a bag of marshmallows in the freezer and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

Melt butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and let cool to ensure the marshmallows don’t melt in the next step.

Quickly fold in vanilla and marshmallows.

Spread mixture into an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan and gently spread with a spatula or spoon.

Refrigerate until firm. Approximately 1 hour.

Remove from pan and slice into squares. Store squares in the refrigerator.
