When I sit down and think about it, snacking, at times, can be a true art form. Now, listen, I know that sounds tremendously stupid, but hear me out. I think there’s a lot of skill and foresight that goes into obtaining the picture perfect snack to suit your current mood. Because, let’s be honest, our appetite could take us in a number of different culinary directions at any given time. It’s all dependent on our mental state and current craving at the moment.Some prefer a salty, perhaps savory, snack after along hard day at work. Others like to dive into a big helping of sugar-laden sweets as a tasty reward for a job well done. Or, it could be vice-versa. The possibilities are endless, so it's important to pay attention to what flavors satisfy you most of the time. That way, you can be sure to always have some on hand when a bout of “munchies” kicks in.For me, that special, fail-safe food is peanut butter. Which I’m not even sure qualifies as food. It’s more of a spread now that I think about it. But, whatever it is, I can’t get enough of the nostalgic-filled flavor of this classic kitchen staple. Rare are the times when you won’t find a jar of this golden brown nectar in my pantry somewhere. But, just as quickly as it arrived, it’s almost just as soon emptied, and tossed in the garbage – soon to be replaced by, yet another, equally-delicious jar of everybody’s favorite: peanut butter.I think what I admire most about peanut butter is its willingness to “play nice with others.” By that I mean, it is happy to lend its unbeatable flavors to almost any other series of tastes out there. But, instead of outshining it with its supremely delicious flavor profile, it instead, works together with its new taste-teammate and, together, they create a cacophony of crave worthy sensations that your taste buds will thank you for.We all know about the classics: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Peanut Butter & Chocolate.

Instructions
For starters, before we do anything else, you’ll want to grab a decent size pan (or loaf pan), and line that bad boy with some parchment paper. Now, when I say “decent size” I’d say aim for a pan around 8”x 8”. Or, if you happen to be using a loaf pan, instead, you should make sure it is about 5” x 10”.
After you’ve completed that quick step, you can then grab a saucepan, and place it over a trusted heat source, set on “Low.”
In this saucepan, you’ll want to toss in your cannabis-infused butter, your butterscotch chips, as well as your peanut butter.
The goal here is to gradually melt all of those ingredients together. Remember to stir up the contents periodically to prevent them from burning.
When you are happy with how smooth and melted everything is, you can remove it from the heat source for a moment to cool.
You’ll only want to wait a couple minutes here, because we’re simply trying to make sure that none of the soon-to-be-added marshmallows melt.
Once that time period has elapsed, you can then stir those marshmallows into the mix. When you’ve adequately folded all of those ingredients in with one another, you may then expertly pour those contents into your previously-prepared pan.
Now, it becomes a waiting game.
And, while you may want to hurry up, and enjoy the tasty fruits of your labor, so to speak, it is imperative that you wait. You’ll want to give these babies an overnight stay on your counter, in room temperature settings, before moving forward.
Notes
And, while you may want to hurry up, and enjoy the tasty fruits of your labor, so to speak, it is imperative that you wait. You’ll want to give these babies an overnight stay on your counter, in room temperature settings, before moving forward. I’m sorry, but it’s necessary.But, when you wake up that next day, you can feel free to pop those suckers out of their pan, and slice ‘em up into little portion-size pieces. You could start chowing down right then and there, if you’d like. But, if you have other plans, or simply want to stow them away for a later date, you totally can.You just need to make sure you put them in an airtight storage container of some sort, and place them in the fridge. That sort of environment should ensure that your Cannabis-Enriched Peanut Butter Marshmallow.Treats stay as fresh as possible, for as long as possible.
