Indulge in the irresistible charm of Chocolate Confetti Squares, a no-bake treat that’s as delightful to make as it is to eat! Bursting with vibrant miniature marshmallows and a lusciously creamy blend of semi-sweet chocolate and smooth peanut butter, this recipe is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. A hint of vanilla enhances the rich chocolatey flavor, while an optional sprinkle of sweetened shredded coconut adds a subtle tropical flair. Perfect for busy days, these squares come together in just 15 minutes of prep time and require no oven—simply refrigerate until set. Whether you’re hosting a party or craving a quick, colorful dessert, these chewy, chocolatey squares are a must-try! Keep them refrigerated and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and smooth peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, about 5-7 minutes. (This ensures the marshmallows don't melt.)
Fold the miniature colorful marshmallows and sweetened shredded coconut (if using) into the cooled chocolate mixture until evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Once set, lift the chocolate confetti square slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board, and cut into 24 squares.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
