Marshmallow squares come in two types: crunchy and non-crunchy. They are easy to make and can be modified to suit dietary restrictions. Adding extra ingredients can create different varieties, and coloring options can brighten them up.

Marshmallow squares are a dessert whose main ingredient is marshmallows, but they can also be of two types: crunchy and non-crunchy. There are usually only a few ingredients needed for the basic recipe, but to make different varieties you need to add one or more ingredients such as chocolate chips. Squares are usually neutral or dark in color due to the ingredients used, but there are a number of ways to brighten them up a bit. Those who adhere to certain dietary restrictions or preferences can modify the recipe to suit their needs.

Some marshmallow squares are crunchy, some aren’t crunchy, and the use of one ingredient means the difference between the two – crunchy rice cereal like Rice Krispies. Non-crispy squares are creamier due to the type of ingredients used. For the crispy squares, crunchy rice cereal is what adds the crunchy, crunchy texture. Both types are easy to make; the ingredients are melted and mixed together over a fire, then placed in a cake pan to coagulate and cool. From preparation to cooking, they typically take less than a few hours to prepare.

Butter, peanut butter, and marshmallows are what’s needed to make a basic recipe for non-crunchy marshmallow squares. To make crunchy squares, the basic recipe includes butter, marshmallows, and crunchy rice cereal. There are also many other varieties to make by adding an extra ingredient or two. For example, add butterscotch chips to make butterscotch marshmallow squares, chocolate chips to make chocolate squares, and shredded coconut to make coconut squares. Peanuts can also be added for extra flavor and crunch.

Considering the dark or neutral colored ingredients included in the recipe, marshmallow squares aren’t very colorful. Adding colored marshmallows, colored chocolate chips or a few drops of food coloring can brighten the final product. If you’re making them for a specific event or holiday, choose decorative coloring options that coordinate with the occasion, such as using red food coloring when making them for Valentine’s Day. Other options include using frosting to create a design on top, spreading it over a thin layer of frosting, or melting chocolate chips or peanut butter onto the finished squares.

Those with some dietary restrictions may have trouble devouring the delicious marshmallow squares, but swapping out certain ingredients can solve that problem. For example, those who are vegan can use vegan marshmallows. Even those with nut allergies can make the recipe without the peanut butter by substituting soy butter, which is free from dairy and nuts.
