As much as I love trying new and different foods and recipes, there’s just no beating a classic. And in our house, Kraft Creamy Peanut Butter has always been a classic choice for my recipes, whether I’m making a simple batch of peanut butter cookies or a savoury Thai Peanut Beef recipe.
So, when Kraft Canada asked me to share my favourite peanut butter recipe, choosing just one was no easy job! But I was in a nostalgic mood and craving something sweet, so I chose my very favourite foolproof Butterscotch Peanut Butter Confetti Squares recipe!
Every bite of these smooth, dreamy butterscotch and peanut butter squares studded with rainbow marshmallows is pure bliss. And when I was a child, they were the treat I was most excited to have when I went to my best friend’s house (since my own mom didn’t make them).
Of course, it didn’t take me long to learn to make these practically-foolproof squares myself. And while I started out mixing nothing but marshmallows into my squares, I soon learned that just a half-cup or so of Rice Krispies made the squares even better. If you’ve made these before but haven’t ever added Rice Krispies, do it now!
But even if you make this Butterscotch Peanut Butter Confetti Squares recipe in its most classic form, you’ll be amazed by how delicious four simple ingredients can be when they’re combined. Just butterscotch chips, peanut butter, butter and marshmallows merge to make a square that’s melt-in-your-mouth decadence.
Convinced you need to make this right now? You’re going to love how easy these tasty squares are!

Soozle says
These are by far one of my favorite dessert squares ever. I could eat the entire tray 🙂
Kathryn says
I almost did when I made them. Lol I think everyone else got about two each and I ate the rest!
Beth G says
I’m a sucker for these. They’re irresistible.
Travelbuds says
I love these. I use chocolate chips for mine.
Kathryn says
My mother-in-law does my favourite haystack cookies with chocolate chips and peanut butter, but I’ve never thought of using chocolate for these! I may have to give it a try. 🙂
travelbuds says
If you love peanut butter and chocolate together you must give them a try. Sooooo good.
Guppy says
My Mom always made these when we were young. Still love them!
Lori L. says
I am actually not a fan of these at all but all of my kids beg me to make them a tray at Christmas! By the time I went to shop for the rainbow marshmallows last December I couldn’t find them in stock anywhere so this year I bought them early!
Kathryn says
Haha Lori! My mom was also not a fan, but she did make some other pretty amazing treats, so we never hassled her about it. Getting the marshmallows in advance is a good idea; I always stock up on holiday baking supplies early because my favourite stores seem to always be out of at least one key ingredient I need!
Kim says
I was never a fan of them with the coloured marshmallows, but i like them with the white ones.
Kathryn says
You know, I don’t like coloured marshmallows in anything else; I actually think they’re super gross in general. Lol But for some reason in these, I can’t get enough of them!
Arran says
Loving the mix and Colors, Kids will Love these, Had to Share to my site so Other Mothers and kids can try Great Idea.
Kathryn says
If you never have, you really MUST try adding Rice Krispies to these; the difference is amazing!
Shirley OFlynn says
These are so good and really easy to make too! They are so colorful and a hit with the kiddies.
kathy downey says
It’s shocking but I only make these at Christmas because I just can’t resist if they are in the house.
micheline says
I like these with chocolate chips instead, no better combo than peanut butter and chocolate.
Shirley P says
I will have to try adding rice krispies next time I make these delicious squares
Kathryn says
Once you try it, you’ll never go back!! 🙂 It’s amazing how delicious they are with that added bit of crunch!
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I’m not a fan of peanut butter at all, one of the few I guess.
Shirley O says
Love this recipe. It’s so easy to make and a favorite with the family.
Cheryl says
A bag of mini marshmallows?????
A 250 g bag or a 400 g bag????
Kathryn says
A 250g bag! Thanks for asking; I’ll update the recipe! 🙂
Shirley O says
They look so yummy and really easy to make as well. My grandchildren would love these!
