Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the butterscotch and peanut butter mixture. If you need a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free Chinese noodles. You can also swap out marshmallows for mini marshmallows for easier mixing. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent burning, and consider using a double boiler for gentle melting.
Serving Suggestions
These butterscotch toasties make a delightful snack or party treat. Serve them alongside a glass of milk or hot chocolate for a cozy pairing.
