Dream Bars
Oh boy are you gonna make friends FAST with this amazing recipe! You guys. These bars are what dreams are made of – no joke. First of all let’s talk about the flavor. Chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, and marshmallows. I know. Stop drooling. The first three are melted together to create the most dreamy concoction know to man. It’s spoon-licking worthy for sure.
Marshmallows are then covered in that creamy, dreamy awesomeness and poured into a baking dish to set up. A handful of M&Ms are sprinkled on top…wait, make that two handfuls, and then off to the fridge they go.
Did I miss anything? Nope. That took all of three minutes you guys. And then a couple hours later you pull this out…
Cut into bars are wait for the compliments to start rolling in. They will come.
I love recipes that call for a bag of this a bag of that and so on. This one fits the bill. A bag of chocolate chips, a bag of butterscotch chips, a bag of marshmallows, a cup of peanut butter and a cup of M&Ms. Done and done.
One trick to these easy bars, use non-stick foil. I use non-stick foil for baking exclusively. It’s extra sturdy and I never have to worry about sticking. The foil peels off so easily and you don’t have to worry about prepping a pan. Plus, if you play your cards right, you can avoid washing the 9×13 baking dish you used. #imlazy
Obviously the red and green M&Ms make these bars perfect for the holidays. Duh. And I know my readers are cray cray smart enough to figure out that using regular M&Ms would be the way to go the rest of the year, right? I plan on making these M&M’s Marshmallow Dream Bars once a week until I have to be wheeled out of my house. #winningatlife

I made these bars this evening, but my marshmallows melted a little bit affecting their appearance. The chocolate mixture was luke warm at best. Are you supposed to let it cool a bit before adding the marshmallows? I want mine to look as pretty as yours.
Star says
Loed it! BUT I used milk chocolate in place of semi sweet. Would definitely make these again, and you could use so many different variations like white chocolate and stuff like that. 10 out of 10 in my book

Could you replace the butterscotch chips with something else? I don’t care for them. Thanks
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
More chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.

I am allergic to anything with peanuts. Is it necessary to use peanut butter in the recipe? It looks really good!

Another nut butter might work!

Hi – these look great and I really want to make them. My daughter is allergic to peanuts so I can’t use peanut butter. Can you suggest anything else to add in its place. Thanks for your help.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I haven’t tried anything else before Victoria but maybe another nut butter would work?
Larry says
There is a product called WOW butter. its peanut butter for people with peanut allergies.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Larry!
Dana says
Anything else that entirely replaces the peanut butter? My family dislikes peanuts/peanut butter
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s basically the ingredient that pulls it all together. Another nut butter might work?
