PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERSCOTCH MARSHMALLOWS BARS (AKA CONFETTI BARS)

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet (or saucepan) on medium heat, add the butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips (in that order) to the pan, whisking frequently until the mixture is completely melted and uniform in texture.
• Remove from heat and let it cool for at least 30 minutes* (see first note). It should be cool enough for you to be able to place your hand on the bottom of the skillet.
• After the peanut butter mixture is cooled, stir in three cups of marshmallows, making sure to thoroughly coat the marshmallows with the mixture.
• Grease and line a 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Then pour the mixture into the pan. Top with the remaining marshmallows, pressing down lightly so that comes in contact with the sticky peanut butter mixture.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into pieces and enjoy.

BUTTERSCOTCH RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Steps:

• Before you start, lightly grease a 12 x 18 inch sheetcake pan and spatula, this will keep the marshmallows from sticking.
• Set a medium or large sized pot on the stove, and turn the stove on to medium - high.
• Add butter to the pot.
• Let the butter melt a little bit, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan so the marshmallows don't stick.
• Add marshmallows to the pot.
• Stir butter and marshmallows together in the pot with the spatula for about 3 minutes, you want to keep stirring constantly to make sure the mixture melts evenly and throughout.
• Add the butterscotch morsels and stir again for about another 2 minutes, or until the butter and marshmallows turn into a fluffy "goo", and the butterscotch is mixed evenly throughout.
• (These last few steps you will want to do very quickly, before the marshmallow mixture cools).
• Turn off the stove and mix the rice krispies into the marshmallow mixture.
• Add the mixture into the pan, and spread out evenly with the spatula.
• Let cool for about 20 minutes.
• Once cooled, with a knife, slice the rice krispie into small rectangles, about 2 x 3in, and ENJOY!
• For leftovers, keep the treats in the pan and cover the pan with saran wrap or foil.

BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Add 2 rectangular sheets of parchment to an 8-inch square baking pan in a crisscross fashion, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides once fitted in the pan. Set aside.
• Cook the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl as the butter melts so that it browns evenly. It will foam, then turn golden and finally turn a toasty brown, about 6 minutes. Once the aroma is nutty, remove it from the heat and pour into a large heatproof glass bowl. (You should have about 6 tablespoons of browned butter.)
• Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the brown sugar into the browned butter until combined. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Then fold in the pecans, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake until set and firm when touched and the top is glossy and crackled, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• Lift the blondie out of the pan using the parchment handles and cut into 9 squares. Drizzle lightly with butterscotch sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
