I don’t know why I don’t just pretend it’s Christmas every month. I’m having so much fun!! I wake up, turn on some good Christmas oldies (Tony Bennett’s “I’ve got my love to keep me warm” is on currently) and get to baking. It’s heaven in my kitchen every day. My hands smell like brown sugar and butter, and I have butterscotch on my cheek with no worries.
This recipe, is an old one from my Great Aunt. I remember several Christmas goodies that she made, but these Butterscotch squares were my favorite. If my six year old self would have known how easy these were, she would have been a butterball herself.
First add your butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
Add your butterscotch chips.
Add your peanut butter.
Let them melt together and then take your pot off of the heat. Let mixture cool down a little for about 8 minutes.
Get 2 cups of mini marshmallows ready and add them to the butterscotch mixture.
Mix together melted ingredients with marshmallows, and place in a 9 x 9-inch square pan. Cool in the refrigerator (about 3 hours).
When the butterscotch goodness is ready, cut it into 16 squares and enjoy.
Ingredients:
½ cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 small or 1 large pkgs of butterscotch chips
2 cups of mini marshmallows
Directions:
1. Melt butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips together in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Mix together melted ingredients with marshmallows, and place into a 9 x 9-inch square pan.
3. Refrigerate for approximately 3 hours.
4. Cut into squares and enjoy! These will keep for up to a week in the fridge. You can freeze them too :)

I just get butterscotch chips in the baking section (near the chocolate chips). I also get them at Bulk Barn sometimes…I love it there.
Oh yum!! could eat myself silly when it comes to butterscotch. Something about the flavor is instantly comforting. These look wonderful!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen butterscotch chips before. Fun!
Christmas oldies are the best!
