How to Make Butterscotch Popcorn Bars No Bake

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes then turn off. This will help the bars set faster.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups popped popcorn, 1 cup salted peanuts, and ½ cup raisins.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter.
  4. Add 2 cups mini marshmallows and 2 cups butterscotch chips to the melted butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the melted marshmallow and butterscotch mixture over the popcorn mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until all the popcorn is evenly coated.
  6. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan. Pour the popcorn mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly to compact the bars.
  7. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature (about 1-2 hours) before cutting into squares. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate them for 30 minutes.
