Butterscotch Peanut Butter Cake
Ingredients

1-1/2 c chunky peanut butter
1-1/2 sticks butter
1-1/2 bags (11 oz) butterscotch chips

Instructions

1.Melt butter and peanut butter in medium saucepan over medium low heat. Once they are fully melted and combined, add in butterscotch chips. Stir continually until mostly melted. There will be chunks in the bottom of the pan, this is ok.


Pour sauce over cake. Now, at this point in the picture I had poured about half the mixture. This is plenty for the cake. The remaining mixture you can put in a 8×8 pan and make butterscotch bars! (Just make sure you mix in the remaining marshmallows first)

I highly recommend you do that instead. Or you could just half the recipe. I mean, whatever works for you.

But I did not do that.

I kept pouring. And scooping out the chunky bits. And pouring. And I made a HUGE mess.
