Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares (Confetti Squares, 5 Ingredients, No Bake)

These peanut butter marshmallow squares — also known as confetti squares — are a classic Canadian Christmas treat made with just 5 ingredients in 10 minutes. Chewy, sweet, salty, and impossible to stop eating. My grandmother's recipe, made every holiday since 1990-something.

Ingredients

  • 1 package butterscotch chips 300g package (I used Chipits)

Instructions

  • Put bag of marshmallows in the freezer and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and let cool to ensure the marshmallows don't melt in next step.
  • Quickly fold in vanilla and marshmallows.
  • Spread mixture into 8×8 or 9x9 inch pan and gently spread with a spatula or spoon.
  • Refrigerate until firm. Approximately 1 hour.
  • Remove from pan and slice into squares. Store squares in refrigerator or freezer.
