Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares Recipe

Extra-Yummy Peanut Butter And Butterscotch Flavored Marshmallow Squares

This easy peanut butter marshmallow squares recipe was often used by my Aunt Sylvia McIlmoyle to make yummy treats for family get-togethers and picnics.

Mom got the recipe from Aunt Sylvia, and she found it to be one of the best squares recipes ever. It's quick and easy to make, and it never fails. And the finished squares look as though you spent hours making them, but only you know the truth. If you're searching for a great homemade dessert to take to a party, this is it.

For me, this old recipe brings back many fond memories. The photo below was taken back in 1979. It shows my Aunt Sylvia cutting her delicious marshmallow squares while being carefully watched by our eldest son Peter who was hoping to get the biggest piece. And he did!

Aunt Sylvia's Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares Recipe

This easy-to-make squares recipe is taken from Mom's old recipe box.

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
12 oz butterscotch chips
3 cups miniature marshmallows

Mix butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips in a double boiler just till melted, then remove from heat. Place 3 cups miniature marshmallows in a buttered pan and spread on warm mixture. Save a few chips and marshmallows to decorate the top, or be generous and add extra.

Cut in squares when cool. It's that easy. Delicious!

Note: If you cannot obtain miniature marshmallows, you could try using sliced large marshmallows instead. Use 10 large marshmallows to replace each cup of the miniature kind.

Substitute chocolate chips to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Squares. Yummy!

Enjoy trying this favorite family recipe. Aunt Sylvia's peanut butter and butterscotch flavored marshmallow squares are absolutely delicious and very easy to make. It's treats like this that make family occasions special for the children, and a fond memory throughout one's life.
