We all know this time of year is a hectic one, so a simple and easy no bake dessert is highly needed, which is why I love this recipe for Peanut Butter Snowballs.

Well, Peanut Butter Confetti Squares is a classic recipe that’s been made for generations, and will always be a holiday baking staple. Even easier are these Polar Bear Donuts – which kids are crazy over, might I add.

These Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares {AKA Confetti Bars}, is a treat to enjoy any time of the year yet especially during the holidays.

It’s a great choice on a plate of assorted goodies, yet also super easy and popular for baking exchanges. I tend to make these squares and my Christmas Trash Snack Mix and Eggnog Cookies every year.

Peanut Butter Confetti Squares

How do you make peanut butter confetti squares?

To make the perfect Peanut Butter Confetti Squares: Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan on LOW heat, just until melted. Then add the butterscotch chips on LOW heat until they melt and you have a combined mixture.

Remove the mixture from heat entirely, and allow to cool to room temperature. This will take about 10-15 minutes, but necessary so the marshmallows don’t melt when added.

Next you fold in the marshmallows until combined and press into a 8×8 greased baking pan. Refrigerate until firm and cut into squares – it’s just that easy.

Watch the included video to see how simple it is to make Confetti Squares. If you’d like to double the batch, just know that the cooling time before adding the marshmallows will increase, yet the instructions would be the same.

 

 

If you do increase this recipe, use multiple 8×8 pans or a larger one. Since this is such a simple and delicious no bake holiday treat, I encouraging making more!

Can you freeze confetti squares?

I also love that you absolutely CAN freeze confetti squares, and I have some in my freezer right at this moment in tins for myself and for friends. To freeze, layer the squares in between parchment paper so they don’t stick together.

When taking out of the freezer, they thaw fast too. This means you can take them out when company arrives and always have a holiday dessert to offer.

Or, take one out to enjoy when your sweet tooth craves.

If you’re wanting another holiday square dessert idea, also give my White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars a try!

Peanut Butter Confetti Squares

Peanut Butter Confetti Squares is a classic recipe that is perfect to enjoy, and they can be made with chocolate chips instead of butterscotch too.

Depending on availability, I’ve made them with coloured marshmallows and standard mini – you can change this up to suit any holiday.

Enjoy the recipe friends!

      Thanks for that tip. We use WOW butter for school but regular PB at home. This would make these school safe. 🙂

    I love these and make them when I feel like something sweet. I use chocolate chips in mine as I love the mix of peanut butter and chocolate. After seeing the picture I’m going to have to make some tonight. 🙂
