Confetti Squares
What the heck are confetti squares, anyway? If you grew up in Canada, you probably already know because they are classically Canadian. In case you don’t know, these are no bake squares made from butterscotch chips melted with peanut butter. Into this you stir a healthy dose of coloured marshmallows, then press it into a pan. They are incredibly sweet yet irresistible. They made an appearance at every bake sale I ever went to as a child so I have probably eaten hundreds of them!

You only need 6 ingredients to make confetti squares. They are:
- Butterscotch chips

Can I Make Confetti Squares with Chocolate Chips?
You definitely can! Though that type of square has a different name: Church Window Squares. These equally tasty sweet treats are basically a chocolate version of this only you roll the mixture into a log. Many bakers often roll the log into flaked coconut. But anything goes with baking, so make them however you like!
How Do I Store Confetti Squares?
The best way to store these is in an airtight container and in the fridge. They will keep this way for 1-2 weeks. Leaving them at room temperature is okay, but they may soften a bit too much especially on warmer days.
I really hope you’ll try out these amazing treats soon! They’re a must make for every holiday but I make them any time of year. I love how easy they are and especially that they don’t need any baking. If you decide to give them a try, I’d love to know how they turned out for you!
