Making homemade butterscotch marshmallows has become my favorite weekend project, and honestly, it's so much easier than you'd think. With just 45 minutes from start to finish, you can have a batch of these golden, fluffy treats ready to enjoy. The beauty of this recipe is that it requires only basic ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, making it wonderfully budget friendly. I love that egg whites provide a great source of protein while creating that signature light and airy texture we all crave. The butterscotch flavor is absolutely divine, melting on your tongue with rich, buttery sweetness that tastes indulgent but comes together simply.
