Prepare a double boiler with a pot of water and a large bowl on top.

Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the bowl and melt over simmering water.

Add approximately 1 cup of peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until smooth.

Pour in 2 cups of butterscotch chips and continue to melt until fully incorporated and smooth.

Remove the bowl from heat and stir in about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Open a 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows and add them to the mixture, stirring quickly to coat them.

Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly, working quickly as it starts to set.

Let the mixture cool, optionally placing it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.

After about an hour, cut into squares and serve.
