EASY PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES
These are very rich so you will want to cut them in small pieces. They keep well (if no one eats them first!) either in the fridge or the freezer. I've seen other recipes for these but I find that this method works the best at making them smooth and creamy. The original recipe calls for walnuts so I have put them in here but I never use them. My great aunt and my mother made these often, also without the nuts. We like to use the coloured marshmallows because they look prettier. They have always been favourites with the kids (of all ages!). NOTE: preparation time includes cooling time

Steps:
- In top of double boiler, melt butter, peanut butter and butterscotch chips.
- Remove from stove and cool (not in the refrigerator) until bottom of pan is touchable.
- Add marshmallows and nuts.
- Mix together.
- Place in a buttered pan and refrigerate.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: For a smooth and creamy texture, use creamy peanut butter rather than chunky peanut butter.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don't overbake the squares: The squares are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting: Allowing the squares to cool completely before cutting will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature: The squares can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These easy peanut butter squares are a delicious and simple treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few ingredients and can be whipped up in no time.
