Tips for Making Double Chocolate Crumble Bars
Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing after each egg is added will make the bars softer and is less likely to over bake and dry out in the oven.
​If you don't have mini-marshmallows, cut up large marshmallows until you have the desired amount.
​Allow the bars with marshmallow top time to cool so the chocolate-butterscotch-peanut butter mixture will spread over the set marshmallows.
If you live in a warm climate, it's best to keep the bars refrigerated!
