Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Fudge

Jade Rice

Report

For those who only associate fudge as a holiday treat, or that it has to be chocolate, I encourage you to get over those thoughts. Your tastebuds will thank you. This is an easy, no-bake recipe that’s as easy as melting together butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips before stirring in marshmallows and refrigerating. If you’ve never had peanut butter and butterscotch together, it’s a heavenly combo. The two flavors pair so well together and the marshmallows add a chewy texture to the otherwise dense bars. It’s a great dessert to make-ahead and stash in the fridge for impromtu nibbling or parties.

Instructions

Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
To a large pot, add the butter, peanut butter, butterscotch chips, salt, and heat over low heat to melt, stirring nearly continuously until melted. Be careful so you don’t scorch the butterscotch chips and I find starting with softened butter to be very helpful. If the last few butterscotch chips are resistant to melting, it’s okay.
Remove pot from the heat, add the marshmallows, reserving 1/2 cup for sprinkling on top, and stir to combine. Work quickly and don’t overmix because you don’t want all the marshmallows to melt; some will melt and some will stay intact.
Turn mixture out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
Evenly sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup marshmallows, tapping them down gently with your fingers or a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving. Enjoy directly from the fridge. Fudge will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 month.
