1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 cup marshmallow cream
1 (12-ounce) package butterscotch chips
In a medium saucepan, melt butterscotch chips until soft and pliable. To the butterscotch, add marshmallow cream and powered milk, stir using spoon until well combined. Add vanilla and remove from heat, the mixture will be very thick. Transfer mixture into a bowl and knead with hands.
