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. This will make the squares smooth and creamy.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the squares hold their shape.
- Don't overbake the squares. They should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the squares for up to 2 months.

Peanut butter squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike.
