Start your holiday baking off right with one of my favourite treats of all times!
I’m officially kicking off the holiday food frenzy – a season that every food blogger waits all year for. What better way to get you in the mood than with this delectable mash up of fun mini-marshmallows, coconut, chocolate and Nutella. These Fudgy Marshmallow Squares are certainly not a cookie, not really a square, but not really candy either… let’s just call them the perfect treat!
I must confess, because these Fudgy Marshmallow Squares are so simple to whip up in 10 minutes, I make them all the time. They are amazing bits of pure joy in your mouth… not kidding. Made from just six simple pantry ingredients, I like to keep them on hand in the refrigerator for when I need that quick after dinner… something sweet. They never last more than a few days, but stay pretty fresh up to 10.
I think this basic recipe has been around for while, both my Mom and Mother-in-law made them. The difference is they used peanut butter instead of Nutella. They also added a 1/4 cup of chopped nuts and no coconut. I did my own thing, but these are options you can try for yourself.
These babies look awesome on a cookie tray, love the bright, happy colours.
Because of the marshmallow, I don’t recommend freezing. Instead make a batch and keep in the fridge, removing just before you want to serve (or eat yourself). Enjoy!
