Ingredients
  

For the Drops
  • 1 cup Butterscotch Chips Opt for high-quality brands like Guittard or Ghirardelli.
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Can be substituted with almond butter for a nut-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows Add these last to maintain their shape.
  • 1 cup Salted Peanuts For variation, you can use cashews or walnuts.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter. Heat over low flame, stirring continuously for approximately 4-5 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Be careful to maintain a low temperature to prevent burning.
  2. After removing the saucepan from the heat, stir in the pure vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and salted peanuts into the cooled mixture. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated while preserving the shape of the marshmallows.
  4. Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet, then deploy tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet. Space them about an inch apart. Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes, until firm.
  5. Once firm, transfer the drops to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
