Chocolate Confetti Squares
Description
This recipe produces Chocolate Confetti Squares by melting together chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter, creating a smooth, rich base flavored further with vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt. After cooling slightly to avoid melting marshmallows, most of the mini marshmallows are stirred into the base, adding chewiness and bursts of sweetness.
The mixture is spread evenly into a prepared pan lined with parchment paper, and the remaining marshmallows are pressed on top for decoration and extra texture. Refrigerating the pan for about 30 minutes chills and firms the squares so they can be sliced into neat bars.
The resultant treat has a dense, fudgy texture highlighted with soft marshmallow bits that contrast the chocolate and peanut butter richness. These bars are quick to prepare without baking and work well as a fun snack or dessert option, especially appealing to those who enjoy marshmallow sweets.
