Chocolate Peanut Butter Confetti Squares

Chocolate Peanut Butter Confetti Squares
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup butter or hard margarine
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 packages (250 grams or 8 ounces each) miniature multi-colored marshmallows

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips until melted. Allow to cool until bottom of pan is cool enough to handle, then stir in the marshmallows.
Pack mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch rectangular pan lined with foil. Cool, then refrigerate and store in the fridge for easier cutting and storage.

These may not look like much from the photo, but they are a really quick, easy, and tasty square recipe. They are no-bake, and come together and are ready to eat in merely minutes. The pleasing flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallow are popular among youngsters. You could always use white marshmallows, the squares just won't have that 'confetti' appearance. These squares really remind me of the squares our neighbors used to send us over every year at Christmastime. They were essentially the same, but used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips, giving a slightly different but rich flavor. Though never something I would have though of making myself, I greatly looked forward to receiving these squares every year. I finally decided to make a similar square recipe myself, for others. Similarly, you may use all chocolate chips of any type, all butterscotch chips, a mixture of the two, or even peanut butter chips.
