  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 3 TB butter

Directions

STEP ONE: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt down peanut butter, marshmallows, and butter. Stir until well combined and mostly smooth.

Tips and tricks:

  • We used a 13″ x 9″ baking dish; for thicker treats, try using an 11″ x 7″ baking dish.
  • For easy cutting and serving, line baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Try adding 1/2 or 1 cup mini marshmallows (not melted) to the final mixture along with bacon for extra marshmallow-y flavor.
