Chocolate Squares Recipe

You'll Love This Butterfinger® Dessert Recipe For Making Squares

This easy chocolate squares recipe makes homemade squares that are chocolatey, crispy and delicious. The big reason they taste so good is they contain Butterfinger® bars and marshmallows, favorite treats for generations of candy lovers.

Did you know the famous Butterfinger® candy bar was invented way back in 1923 by the Curtiss Candy Company of Chicago, Illinois? Believe it or not, the company dropped the new candy bar from airplanes in selected cities across the U.S. to boost its popularity, and it became a big sensation. The Nestle® company purchased rights to the Butterfinger® bar in 1990.

Butterfinger® Squares Recipe

This dessert square recipe is adapted from an old-fashioned recipe for squares found in Mom's old recipe scrapbook, circa 1929.

Ingredients:

6 Nestle® Butterfinger® candy bars, the 2.1 oz/60g size
6 cups toasted rice cereal
4 cups miniature marshmallows
3 tbsp butter

Method:

Buy 6 Butterfinger® bars, standard size. Chop up 3 bars into a bowl, then mix in about 6 cups of toasted rice cereal and set aside.

Now, melt 3 tablespoons of butter into a saucepan and add 4 cups of miniature marshmallows. Carefully heat on stove top until somewhat melted. Add the chopped bars and cereal mixture, then gently stir it all up.

Pour the results into a 13 in x 9 in baking pan and let it cool until hardened. Crumble the rest of the Butterfinger bars across the top and then cut the pan contents into squares. Serve like fudge squares. Delicious!

You've got to try this easy dessert recipe; it's so good tasting. This chocolate squares recipe could be made using almost any favorite chocolate bar if Butterfingers® are unavailable.
