All About These No Bake Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares

How To Make Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares
- Prepare Your Baking Pan – To ensure the bars don’t stick to the pan line it with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick spray. Allow the aluminum foil to hang over the sides of the pan to make removing the bars easier.
- Cooking The Ingredients – Be sure to cook the ingredients until its thoroughly melted and smooth. Stirring as you cook so the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
- Adding The Marshmallows – When adding the marshmallows into the hot, melted peanut butter mixture they tend to melt. To prevent this from happening place the marshmallows in the freezer while the mixture cooks, about 15 minutes. And then add them into the mix straight from the freezer.
- Cutting And Serving – Allow the finished bars to set for up to 4 hours before cutting them into squares and serving.

Can I Make This Recipe With A Peanut Butter Substitution?
I’ve never tried or tested this recipe using anything other than peanut butter. However, feel free to give it a try using nut butter in place of peanut butter.
What Can I Use Instead Of Butterscotch Chips?
The butterscotch chips really add a decadent flavor that you should try at least once! But if you really want to swap them out try using chocolate chips instead!

This largely depends on the size of your squares. However, this recipe makes a 9x9inch pan and I can comfortably get 25 squares out of it!
