These butterscotch marshmallow squares are fudgy, colorful, and loaded with mini marshmallows and crushed social tea cookies. They are beyond good and perfect for Easter celebrations.
The long weekend is upon us and I say it’s time to break out the goodies. Easter chocolates, decadent desserts (like these oh-so-good butterscotch marshmallows squares made with social tea cookies and colorful mini marshmallows), and of course calorie-loaded apps and entrees.
Next week we’ll eat only salad, ok?
About these butterscotch marshmallow squares
The color palette of these sweet, almost fudge-like squares is as Easter compliant as it gets. They also happen to be a major kid favorite. Pretty pastel marshmallows are hard for kids (and adults) to resist. Truth.
Recipe Ingredients
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Butter
- Social tea cookies
- Mini colored marshmallows
- Vanilla
- A pinch of salt
How to make butterscotch marshmallow squares
- Use a food processor to pulse the social tea cookies into very fine crumbs. *In place of a food processor, add social tea cookies to an extra-large ziplock bag, seal and use a rolling pin to crush into crumbs.
- In a double boiler (or a very heavy-bottomed pot) over low heat, combine sugar and beaten eggs. Add in the butter (cut into smaller cubes), vanilla, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir frequently for 25 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Do NOT bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, stir in the social tea cookie crumbs, followed by the mini marshmallows.
- Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9 x 9-inch baking pan and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Cut into squares and devour.

I have made this many many times and it always was awesome BUT I never let the liquid cool before adding the marshmellows and crumbs. This time I let it cool and what a disaster. It was inpossible to mix and I had to throw it out. I will never let it cool again.
