Peanut Butter Confetti Squares
Description
This recipe creates a chilled, sweet confection by combining butterscotch chips, creamy peanut butter, and butter over gentle heat until smooth. Once removed from heat and flavored with vanilla extract, the mixture is cooled briefly before folding in most of the rainbow mini marshmallows for bursts of chewy sweetness inside. This confetti-studded batter is pressed into a lined pan, topped with remaining marshmallows, and refrigerated for a couple of hours to firm up.
The squares have a smooth, creamy texture punctuated with soft marshmallow pieces. The butterscotch adds caramel undertones that complement the peanut butter’s nutty, salty flavor. Cold chilling ensures they cut cleanly into portions and hold their shape.
These squares can be served as a fun, colorful dessert or sweet snack and are easily portioned for sharing. Their make-ahead, no-bake nature simplifies preparation and cleanup for casual occasions.
