Just call me Martha

so I've been busy today - baking... and I'm going to make some soup later today or tomorrow too!!

Here's what I made so far...

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares

1 (12 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips
1/4-1/2 c. butter
1 c. peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 pkg. sm. marshmallows

Combine butter and peanut butter and chip bits in a saucepan on low - medium heat until melted. Take off heat and cool mixture before adding marshmallows. Pour mixture into ungreased cake pan. Spread evenly. Refrigerate until cold and cut into squares. Keep in refrigerator.

I overcooked mine a bit - not sure why I have such a hard time with loaves either not cooking or overcooking...
