The confetti square is a dessert bar made with peanut butter, marshmallows and chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. They are eaten in Canada and the United States, particularly the Maritimes. [1]
Confetti squares are prepared by melting butterscotch chips and peanut butter together margarine, [2] or butter. [3] Once the mixture is removed from heat, multicolored mini marshmallows are stirred in. The mixture is then poured into a baking pan and allowed to cool and harden before being sliced into squares. [2] [4] Once sliced, the color of the marshmallows is visible in the center of the bars. [1]
They may include additional ingredients such as shredded coconut and walnuts. [5] Some versions substitute chocolate chips instead of butterscotch chips. [6] [4]
