These are really sweet but always a hit... I put the butter, butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a microwaveable bowl and microwaved the 3 together for 1 minute on high. When I took it out and stirred it, it all melted nicely together. My family prefers nothing but the marshmallows, so I add those and then pour them into my parchment paper lined pan and off to the fridge they go! Not something I make often, but for special holidays or treats! They're a hit with kids and adults alike!

I tried it as written, and apparently my family likes them old school w/o nuts or coconut. :(

i like parts of this recipe i omitted the nuts and coconut and substituted unsweetened chocolate chips for the butterscotch to cut back on the sweetness.

I love these! My Gram always makes them. I'm surprised it doesn't specify that you need to use the coloured mini marshmallows, because that is a HUGE contributor to the yumminess. Also I've never had them with nuts, so I left them out. I like the coconut sprinkled over top. We like these right out of the fridge so they are good and chewy! I don't use a double boiler, just melted chips, butter and pb in the microwave until melted, but not too hot and mixed in the marshmallows. Yum yum YUM!

If you follow the recipe exactly, they turn out very, very sweet. If less butterscotch chips were added, I think they would turn out better.

Yes I agree with some other posters that the nuts do not belong. Also, instead of saying remove from heat and add marshmallows, there really should some cooling off period as my marshmallows melted. The result was still yummy! However I should state I also used natural peanut butter which takes a little longer to melt down... Thanks for the old school recipient tho, glad i could still make me like mom - sort of!

These are heavenly. We did not have butterscotch chips in the pantry and took chocolate chips instead. this was amazing. We added rice crispies and omitted the walnuts and coconut flakes. I would even add a second cup of rice crispies next time I make them. Definitely a new family favorite that we have to keep in the freezer so that it slows consumption.
