How to Make Yum Yum Bars

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs over low heat.
  2. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Stir in 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 2 cups miniature marshmallows, 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice!), and 1 cup flaked coconut. Mix until well combined.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into a lightly buttered 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. **Prepare the frosting:** In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup peanut butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  7. Immediately spread the frosting evenly over the bar mixture.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set completely.
  9. Once set, remove from the refrigerator, cut into squares, and enjoy your delicious homemade Yum Yum Bars!
