Marshmallow Square

Marshmallow squares are one of those amazing desserts that are completely delicious and way too easy to make. They’re also known as butterscotch marshmallow squares – and they’re basically a fluffy cloud of sweet peanut butter deliciousness.

To make my protein peanut butter marshmallow squares we melt together the butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips over medium heat in a saucepan.

You’ll want to go slowly here so it melts into a smooth and creamy sauce without any lumps.

Remove from saucepan from the heat and add peanuts, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, a splash of vanilla and allow the mixture to cool. This is absolutely necessary, otherwise, if you mix in the marshmallows while the peanut butter is still hot you’ll melt the marshmallows and end up with a big sticky mess. A tip of mine is to freeze the marshmallows before hand to prevent melting the marshmallows.

After the marshmallows are stirred in, the batter is spooned into our prepared pan, and we chill in the fridge to let the bars harden.
