Confetti squares… a holiday snack or any day snack for anyone with a sweet tooth?
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food
Someone mentioned confetti squares being their favourite childhood treat so of course I had to look it up immediately.
Much like this Christmas crack we make every year, it’s the kind of thing that you don’t bake, it’s more of an assemblage, but hey, that’s a good thing, especially for people like me who don’t have the time or patience for intricately decorated sugar cookies and gingerbread houses.
Sooo… confetti squares, also referred to as confetti bars, are as easy as it gets. A word of warning: these are sweet, like, really sweet.
If you can melt butter in a pot and dump in some sugar, a bag of butterscotch chips, and a bag of mini-marshmallows, you can make these. This is a low effort, no-bake creation!
For the record, I used this recipe.
It made a LOT – a large 9 x 13 tray – which is welcome during a time when it tends to get busy. I brought half to my office holiday party and we ate the other half here at Casa Fishbowl, and even brought a few to share with family when we went for a visit. There were happy faces all around, which is kind of the point when making treats at Christmas (regardless whether you slave away in the kitchen or just make something quick like this). Do you have a favourite Christmas treat, square, bar, or cookie? Leave a link to a recipe in the comments below. I’d love to see what you’re baking and making!
