Confetti Squares - Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares (2024)

FAQs

Why are my peanut butter marshmallow squares crumbly? ›

If your confetti squares are grainy and crumbly instead of smooth and creamy, it's because the peanut butter, butter, and butterscotch mixture got too hot and the sugars crystalized. Make sure to heat everything slowly to prevent this.

They can also be frozen.

To fix oily, hard or grainy fudge, scoop the fudge back into a pot with about a cup of water. Cook it over low heat until the fudge dissolves. Then bring the fudge back up to the temperature specified in the recipe and follow the remaining steps. The flavor may be slightly diluted, but the texture will be improved.

If you're down to the bottom of a jar and the nut butter is dry and crumbly (you didn't store it upside down, huh?), a surefire way to give it life is by adding some oil.

Carbs in Marshmallows

A single serving of marshmallows provides about 23 grams of carbohydrate, primarily in the form of added sugar. The glycemic index of marshmallows is estimated to be about 62, making it a high glycemic food. But the estimated glycemic load of a marshmallow is just 15, which is fairly low.

The reason it doesn't freeze completely solid is due to its high sugar content. A higher sugar content lowers the freezing point of liquids, thus making it harder to freeze.

Freeze in an airtight container, or wrap each square in a piece of plastic wrap and place them in a gallon freezer bag. Freeze them for up to 3 months.

Not enough fat

To fix this, you can add more fat to the dough. This can be in the form of butter, shortening, or even olive oil. Just add a little at a time until the dough comes together and is no longer crumbly. You may also need to add more liquid, such as milk or water, to get the right consistency.

What type of sugar you use to make marshmallows will affect the overall texture. The idea is to prevent the sugar from crystallising in a well-ordered structure, as this will make the marshmallow grainy and crunchy.

Add more liquid ingredients in small amounts. Milk, egg yolks or egg whites, vanilla extract or even a teaspoon of water can help moisten the dough to give you less crumbly cookies. A little bit of a liquid like milk can also help your cookies spread in the oven to give you a more crispy cookie.

Since oil and water don't mix, and peanut butter has a high oil content, there isn't much room in the mixture left over for water, explains Live Science. This can lead to naturally dry peanut butter, drying out more quickly due to its limited water content.
