For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Toast the peanuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can substitute white chocolate chips or simply use more semi-sweet chocolate chips. Ensure the base layer is completely cooled before adding the marshmallow layer to prevent it from melting. For a cleaner cut, use a warm knife when cutting the chilled bars.

May 19, 2025I found the marshmallow layer a bit too sweet, so I reduced the amount of marshmallow cream slightly, and it was perfect!
