Butterscotch Squares

[Salvatore Grijalva]

RERBUTTERSCOTCH CONFETTI SQUARES, CAN ONLY FIND THE BIG BAG OF COLOURED MARSHMALLOWS, COULD YOU TELL ME APPROX HOW MANY CUPS THIS RECIPE WOULD NEED WAY TOO MANY TO USE THE BIG BAG. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

It actually requires the big bags that they sell in store here in Canada. It looks big so I always chucked in a few extra past of butter, PB and chips. I had to STOP because too often I'd end up with a few cm's of base without the marshies.

I have to mention this I went to grab my penut butter had a smell it was bad my daughter didn't put back in the fridge but it was a asume mistake. I was thinking what to do I saw I had almonds butter just like peanut butter but almonds instead this was the one with coconuts buterr to with the almond butter so I used it instead of peanut butter it was so good I had to tell you all.. next time I'm going to explore with other flavors sutch as hazelnuts or even walnuta with half peanut butter sunflour butter it's endless yummy ...give it a try you'll surprise yourself lol..???

I was finding it hard to get the confetti squares out of the dish so I lined my glass dish with wax paper. After theybhave cooled in the fridge just lift it all out by grabbing the ends of the wax paper. The wax paper peels right off and then I cut them into squares on the cutting board.

Hi Laura, it should not have been that thick. My guess it that you had the peanut butter mixture too hot before adding the butterscotch chips and they seized up the mixture. I outlined this in my instructions. I do hope you try it again, as it is a delicious recipe.

"More than Poutine" is a Canadian cookbook like no other - written by a Canadian living away, it includes both traditional home cooking recipes, as well as accurate homemade versions of many of the snacks, sauces, convenience foods, and other food items that are hard to come by outside of Canada!

Definitely a Canadian thing. Grew up in Saskatchewan, where they were always to be found wherever people brought baking, but it's been harder than I thought to find a recipe, and the only recipes I've found have been on Canadian sites (is it a prairies thing?) does anyone know how to do the chocolate ones - do you just use chocolate chips instead of butterscotch?

Finally!! Oh goodness in have been a searching for this for a so long. I also am a Canadian now living in Arizona and wow I could never describe this enough to anyone to get the recipe and I can not wait to make this for my kiddos. I am so glad I finally came across this.

Could be a prairie thing - I grew up with them in BC, but my Grandma was from Manitoba and they were one of her FAVOURITE. My mom always rolled them into a log shape covered while warm & rolled them in coconut and then made thin slices when it was cool. Definitely the same recipe though. Thanks for sharing!

These butterscotch and peanut butter marshmallow squares are a childhood favourite that couldn't be easier to make. Confetti squares take just four or five ingredients and a few minutes of preparation time to whip up!

I find that the best time to add any dry ingredients to these squares is right at the end, after the marshmallows and butterscotch mixture have been combined. Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of your favorite add-in to the marshmallow mixture and stir until combined, then spread it in the prepared pan.

Haha Lori! My mom was also not a fan, but she did make some other pretty amazing treats, so we never hassled her about it. Getting the marshmallows in advance is a good idea; I always stock up on holiday baking supplies early because my favourite stores seem to always be out of at least one key ingredient I need!

I really enjoy the history of Aunt Dorothys Butterscotch Squares. Your squares look amazing and I am sure would be delicious! Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

Merry Christmas

These classic Butterscotch Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares are one of my favourite nostalgic childhood treats. Creamy peanut butter and butterscotch chips mixed in with rainbow coloured marshmallows are truly a match made in heaven!

If you stopped by there would always be a fresh batch of her famous Chocolate Chip Cookies, her mouth watering Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, her amazing 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls or her Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares!

Not only does refrigerating them help them firm up faster so you can eat them faster, but these squares taste way better cold. The creamy peanut butter base with the cold marshmallows is just a match made in heaven!

Although this is traditionally an Xmas treat, I always keep a tray on hand in the freezer. I have made this a hundred times. Simple , no fail and GF. My boys are mad for this treat. Once it sets I cut it in squares in the tray and move it all to a zip lock bag along with the parchment lining to the freezer. Pieces only take minutes to thaw but the whole tray is a great send along treat when guesting (or pull out when the guys are over). The one thing I have found: I have made this in canada and in the US. US ingredients are WAY sweeter and makes the treat too sweet. I will work on a less sweet American version this winter.

The butterscotchy, marshmallow, yummy love affair begins around November, my mind flashes intermittently on images of years past with the great times we had. The smiles I smiled, the happiness I expressed, (sometimes even with a little dance), the loving looks that always linger longer than they should at their pillowy goodness.

These Butterscotch Confetti Squares are made with butterscotch chips, peanut butter and marshmallows. They are my FAVORITE square! Perfect for any party dessert buffet, gift exchange, or even birthdays! Easy to make and best of all, A NO BAKE DESSERT!

When you're adding the marshmallows, you want to work quickly. Be sure to remove the pot from the heat, add the marshmallows and stir quickly to coat.

You want to work quickly because the heat from the butterscotch mixture could melt the marshmallows if not removed from the heat and the pot.

For the gooiest butterscotch bars, I recommend slightly under baking them. The bars should still be under baked in the middle when you take them out of the oven, but will continue to bake as they cool!

This highly addicting buttersctoch square recipe is the definition of easy but delicious! These squares are packed with rich butterscotch and peanut flavour and fluffy marshmallows. You'll be able to smell decadent butterscotch from across the room.

I made dessert last week, not something I do very often. I'm just not the best baker in the world. But I couldn't pass on these Butterscotch Crunch Squares made with ice cream. Ice cream is Meathead's favorite, he pretty much has a bowl nightly, since childhood. He loved these ice cream crunch squares and ate two for lunch the day I made them. Sometimes, I think he's still a kid.

This recipe is from my mom's oldest and dearest friend, Ann. I just love family recipes and am so glad she sent me this one, which she made for her kids when they were little. She also sent me her mother's oatmeal cookie recipe, which I will be making soon.

My mom and Ann are in their 80's and when they were babies, their mothers, who were best friends, pushed them together in their buggies. They have been lifelong friends and although living in different states, their friendship has endured. They talk all the time and wished they lived closer. I have often said that I hope I have girlfriends like they do when I'm older. So many of my mom's friends are like second mom's to me and I admire them all. They were, and are, my role models. And when my mom and Ann lost their husbands, our fathers, their girlfriends were a vital part of their support system. Mom and Ann are truly blessed.

Okay, back to this ice cream dessert. I used caramel sauce instead of butterscotch topping because that's what I had. I'm not changing the name to Caramel Crunch Squares because IT'S ANN'S RECIPE!! And either butterscotch or caramel sauce works, and next time I'll be using butterscotch topping.

Thank you Ann for sharing this recipe with me. And thank you Jill for answering my questions and being such a fan of the hungry bluebird. My family and friends are why I started this blog. I'm so happy that Ann's ice cream dessert is part of my recipe collection. And, believe me, no one is happier about that than Meathead. Peace and love, Kelly
