Ingredients
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt Morton brand
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 large egg
- 2½ cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups chocolate chips I use Guittard brand, semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 9'' x 13'' pan (I like to use a light-colored metal pan) with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and butterscotch chips, stirring constantly. Do not let the mixture darken. Don't worry if it looks grainy or separated; it'll still work! Remove from heat - let cool until mixture is only lukewarm (you'll be adding marshmallows and chocolate chips, and don't want them to start melting before going in the oven).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Once the butterscotch mixture is the slightest bit warm, add vanilla and eggs, and stir well to combine. Then add the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Quickly and gently fold in marshmallows and chocolate chips, until just combined. Do not over stir.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes or so, taking care to not over bake. (I think they're best when just slightly under-baked!) The edges should be nicely browned, and the center not quite set. The bars will firm up as they cool.
- Let cool COMPLETELY before cutting into individual bars.
