Recipe Yield: 12 squares
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | Margarine |
| 1/2 | Peanut butter |
| 1 | Chocolate chips |
| 1 | Marshmallows |
Instructions:
-
Melt butter and peanut butter. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the margarine and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
-
Stir in chocolate chips. Once the margarine and peanut butter are melted and well combined, add the chocolate chips to the bowl. Stir until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated into the mixture.
-
Cool. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, but not to the point of solidifying. This will make it easier to incorporate the marshmallows in the next step.
-
Add marshmallows. Gently fold the marshmallows into the chocolate mixture until they are evenly distributed. The residual heat from the chocolate mixture will soften the marshmallows slightly, creating a delightful texture.
-
Press in a 9 x 9 pan and refrigerate. Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 9-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press the mixture evenly into the pan, ensuring that it reaches all corners and is smoothed out on top. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Cut into squares. Once chilled and set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and lift the parchment paper to transfer the slab of Chocolate Confetti Squares onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the slab into 12 equal-sized squares.
-
Serve and enjoy! Arrange the squares on a serving platter or plate, and watch as they disappear before your eyes. These Chocolate Confetti Squares are perfect for sharing with family and friends, or for indulging in as a sweet treat any time of day.
These Chocolate Confetti Squares are a true delight, bursting with flavor and charm. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving something sweet, these tasty treats are sure to satisfy. Enjoy the magic of chocolate and marshmallows in every bite! 🍫✨
