Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Miniature colorful marshmallows
- 0.25 cup Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
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.
