Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened chocolate instead of butterscotch chips, or try adding chopped nuts for extra crunch. If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the sugar by a third. Make sure to stir constantly while boiling to prevent the mixture from scorching. If you can't find mini marshmallows, you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular peanut butter instead of crunchy?
Yes, you can use regular creamy peanut butter if you prefer a smoother texture. However, using crunchy peanut butter adds a nice texture contrast in the cookies. Just ensure that the consistency remains similar for melting purposes.
How long should I let the dessert set?
Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled. This ensures that the layers firm up nicely for easier cutting and serving. You can also leave it overnight for the best results.
Can I substitute graham cracker crumbs with something else?
Yes, if you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafer crumbs as a substitute. Just ensure that the texture is similar, as it helps in binding the ingredients together.
