This is one of my favorite desserts of all time. It is super easy to make, and way, WAY too tasty. Highly addictive, so I recommend not keeping too many around…

1/4 C. Butter
3/4 C. Peanut butter (Any smooth or crunchy Peanut Butter will work, including Natural)
1/4 C. Coconut (optional)
6 oz butterscotch chips
2 1/2 cups miniature colored marshmallows
1/2 chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, gives a nice texture)

Prepare a double boiler, so that the bottom part is boiling. Mix the first 4 ingredients together, and stir them together in the double boiler until melted. The butterscotch chips can be difficult to melt, just stir and squish them until they finally melt. **Note: A doublt boiler is not 100% necessary, as long as you are stirring constantly, and make sure the mixture does not burn.

Remove from the double boiler. Let cool until luke warm. Stir in the marshmallows and immediately spread into a greased pan. **Note: do not add marshmallows to the PB mixture when it is still really hot – the marshmallows will melt and wreck the recipe.

The size of the recipient doesn´t matter, as long as everything fits! Place in the fridge for 1 hour, then cut into squares….and voilá! One of the best peanut butter desserts you can make….

This peanut butter recipe has many variations, and the nice thing about it is you can easily modify the ingredients to make them match your tastes. For example, I often put in less butterscotch chips. I also like to add chopped walnuts, which make a delicious addition!! Really, you have to make it a few times to find out the best amounts for you – butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch. They can all change to your liking.

This dessert tends to be a huge hit with kids, which makes it ideal for parties or nights when there a going to be lots of kids in your house. However, I have also found that adults can´t keep their hands off of them!
