Easy marshmallow bars

Easy marshmallow bars
Set up your double boiler. If you do not have one (like me) I use a small pot on the bottom and the next size on top. Fill the bottom pot 1/4 of the way with water. Set on the stove and place your bigger pot on top. Add the white chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Turn burner on medium low and slowly melt. Stir often. Remove from burner when melted. If you want a double boiler, this one is the one I am going to get.
