obj: "\nThese are from my repertoire of my Grandma Marion\u2019s recipes, she was an avid fan of\u00A0 \u201Cdainties\u201D.\u00A0 Or squares, as most people would call them, but I prefer the word dainties instead, not only because it brings forth very fond memories of my grandma who sadly passed away a couple years ago, but because it also evokes a feeling of times gone by, in which you always had a supply of dainties ready in the freezer in case your neighbor stopped by.\u00A0 This was really common in my grandma\u2019s rural area;\u00A0 if you stopped by, there would be a cup of coffee and a plate of squares produced for your chat in less than 10 minutes.\nSo much do I enjoy squares, they have earned a category of their own, Dainties, and once in a while I will be making my favorites. Some come from my recipe box, others from 150 Delicious Squares by Jean Pare, the dainties queen. This recipe is in there as well.\nI am thinking this book is so good, that it will be my first give-away, next week. Stay tuned!\nIngredients for Confetti Bars\n1/4 cup butter or margarine\n1/2 cup peanut butter\n1 cup chocolate chips\n250 grams colored marshmallows\n\nOh colored marshmallows, how I love thee. Especially the large ones roasted over a campfire, which reminds me, those large colored marshmallows are darn hard to find! This recipe uses just over half of a 454 gram bag of the mini variety marshmallows. When then leaves just under half a bag of colored mini-marshmallows for snackin\u2019. Gotta love a recipe that pulls double duty!\n\nTake the one pot that is all you need, and put your margarine in it. Take your peanut butter and add it as well. And on a side note, I use only natural peanut butter, and my squares are just that slightly less sweet because of it.\u00A0 The recipe is mean for normal sugared PB, but don\u2019t be afraid to use natural if that\u2019s all you have. They still are fab.\nMelt the peanut butter and margarine together until they are fairly hot.\n\nOnce the mixture is hot, remove the pot from the burner entirely. Add in your chocolate chips, and stir until they are melted completely.\n\nIf this is wrong, I don\u2019t wanna be right.\n\nLet the chocolate mixture cool until you can place your hand on the bottom of the pot, so until its comfortably warm.\nLook at that handful of happy.\u00A0 Add in those handfuls of happy, then stir and coat them all up.\n\nHere\u2019s where you can go two directions: you can either grease the pan slightly, or you can line it with tinfoil for easy removal. I suggest the tinfoil. I was out of tinfoil. Hey, I told you this was going to be a realistic cooking blog. Magpie had no tinfoil in her kitchen when she reached this point. I should start a list of my magpie fails. It might take up too much room, even though we all know the entertainment value is priceless.\nSo if you are smarter than me and actually HAVE tinfoil in the house, use it to line the pan.\n\nOnce the mixture spread evenly in the pan, cool it in the fridge for a few hours until it\u2019s completely set, slice and serve to rounds of raucous applause! Mine came out fantastic despite the lack of tinfoil.\n\n\u00A0\n\nShare this:Tweet\n\n\tRelated\n"@en-us
