butterscotch confetti squares (a.k.a. earplug squares)

So easy and so delicious! They got the nickname earplug squares from my cousin Richard - you'll understand why when you make them and take a look at them!

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup hard margarine or butter
  • 250g package of coloured mini marshmallows

Heat the first three ingredients in a large heavy saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often, until chips are almost melted. Do not overheat. Remove from heat. Stir until smooth. Let stand until bottom of saucepan is cool enough to touch.

Add marshmallows. Stir until well-coated. Press firmly into greased or foil-lined 9x9 inch pan. Chill until firm.

Makes 36 squares (I cut them into 24!)

* The foil lined pan is a great idea - it is much easier to lift them out of the pan and then you just throw the foil away.
