Why you’ll love this recipe:

Aside from being ridiculously easy to make, these butterscotch confetti squares are super addicting and are made from only 5 ingredients! I’ve always loved the flavor of butterscotch, and when it’s mixed with peanut butter it’s the perfect sweet and salty combination!

Ingredients you’ll need:

Butter
Butterscotch chips
Creamy peanut butter- no natural stuff here!!!
Vanilla extract
Rainbow mini marshmallows

These confetti squares get their name from the fun colorful marshmallows that make up the base of this recipe. You could definitely use regular mini marshmallows in this recipe, but what’s the fun in that?! Although these are great to make for any holiday, I love making confetti squares around easter because the pastel colors of the marshmallows are so fitting for spring!

How to make the best confetti squares:

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt together butter, butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
Stir until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, then remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature (at least 10 minutes).
Fold in the rainbow marshmallows, then transfer the mixture to your parchment lined baking pan.
Gently smooth out the surface to ensure the mixture is in an even layer, then transfer to the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.
Once chilled and firm, slice into 16 equal squares. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Confetti squares are basically a retro marshmallow fudge that’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require a ton of cleanup which is a HUGE win in my book! They’re perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just having a sweet treat on hand when it’s too hot outside to turn on your oven!

My top tips:

It’s super important to let the peanut butter mixture cool completely to room temperature before mixing in the marshmallows. You don’t want to add them to a hot mixture because you’ll risk melting them.
This can be made in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan and will give you 16 equal sized squares. If you’re feeding a crowd, feel free to double the recipe and make it in a 9×13 pan!
Be sure to line your baking pan with parchment paper! This ensures the marshmallow mixtures doesn’t stick to the pan and allows you to slice it up perfectly.
The hardest part of this recipe is letting the marshmallow mixture chill, so it slices into squares easily! Be sure to transfer the pan to your fridge for at least 1 hour to let the marshmallow mixture firm up. This ensures the squares will hold their shape when sliced.
These treats are super decadent and rich, so I like cutting them into smaller squares for serving. All you really need is a few bites to feel satisfied!
