Butterscotch Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares are a quick and easy no-bake festive treat!

This was fun. I got to collaborate with some fabulous Canadian Food Bloggers that I respect and enjoy following, and I also got to create the single Christmas treat that I completely adored, and found highly addictive, when I was a small girl.

Today’s post is all about my personal Christmas Treat Tradition. For me there was only 1 (that’s correct, one) treat that I looked forward to, Butterscotch Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares.

In its original format called “Butterscotch Confetti Squares”, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy or use techni-coloured marshmallows the first few times I made them (sorry Grandma).

Now, with younger kids of my own, I folded and have been using the bright and fun “rainbow” marshmallows my kiddos adore.

These squares made their way from the far side of the Prairies to reach me on the West Coast. My Great-Grandma in Winnipeg, Manitoba, would post a shoebox filled with various Christmas goodies from Shortbread Cookies to Butter Tarts along with our standard Christmas gifts of slippers.

She always bought the best slippers and to this day I still wear slippers, even in the summer months. Old soul at heart.

Sensibly, I would become visibly distraught if this package had not arrived by the 23rd of December. There was only one year where the package was late and I promptly called Grandma to make sure she was ok before fretting about my missing treat.

The combination of butterscotch chips, creamy peanut butter, and marshmallows is truly a brilliant one.

My Grandma stopped sending the shoebox many years ago, but my taste buds eagerly dug into these Butterscotch Marshmallow Confetti Squares with sheer delight and adoration.

My one wish was that I could call my Great-Grandmother and tell her how I recreated this special treat so many years later with her in my memories.

Christmas is such a special time of year, high lighted and saturated with special moments. Moments that can come rushing back to you with the taste of a simple treat.

These Butterscotch Marshmallow Confetti Squares have very few ingredients, aren’t baked at all, and take a whooping 15 minutes to put together.

But in my heart they’re the package from across the country that showed my Great-Grandma’s love.

Other festive baking needs? I’d definitely urge you to consider these Eggnog Madeleines or these Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies.

Do you have a favourite sentimental Christmas treat? I’d love to hear about it.
