a lady at the church always brings this delicious sweet dessert whenever we have a special get together. so finally, i asked for the recipe and she gave it to me. it's called confetti squares.
and you make it by melting on a double boiler, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup unsalted butter and 6 oz butterscotch pieces (i used chipits brand). you can do this with the pan directly on the stove but it would turn out coarse or granular. when melted, let it cool for a bit. then mix in 2 cups of multi-coloured marshmallows and some pecan pieces. put and flatten on parchment paper-lined pan and put in the fridge for a few minutes. then cut into 2-inch squares. she usually doubles the batch and puts them in the freezer .
i didn't wake up early enough to go to the grocery store. why do people think seniors wake up before 7? but to be fair the stores want the seniors and other persons with disability or underlying conditions to come to the store ahead of the mob so that the place is freshly cleaned and disinfected. but boy, i couldn't wake up before 7. when i woke this morning it was about 8:23. tee-hee! so i will try again tomorrow morning early so i can be back to prepare and attend our sunday service online.
You are lucky to have daily seniors shopping, here it is only on Wednesdays from 7-8 am. As I get up by latest 6 everyday, it is not a problem for me. Your squares look delicious.
@ludwigsdiana - i still haven't recovered from the change in time. but this time, i woke up much earlier and i still couldn't go because there's a storm raging outside. the luck of me, sometimes!
@bella_ss - thanks, come on over and i'll make you a special batch.
I think that is the healthiest candy I have ever seen! Certainly the most inviting. Good luck with the shopping. We are hanging around for our supermarket order on Tues for milk.
@grammyn - since working at home, i sleep through it. my neighbours must be pissed with me. but today i woke up amply early but i still couldn't go. there was a storm and now big winds and pouring rain. i'm not desperate to get provisions, it was just so i have a good reason to go out.
Looks like a culinary success. So I have been baking today too, after the online church service. But no early shopping for me. We have the same early shopping for seniors here, I have often wondered how many make it to the supermarket at such a time. Hope you get there eventually.
please excuse that I only now thank you for your nice visit to my site. A difficult time is behind me.
Your confetti squares - well, that looks so delicious. If there is still something left - it would be a nice occasion for a coffee together... But also like to drink tea. However, the planes are all on the ground, my cape is not available ...
Let's try to give meaning to the moment - especially in these times.
Take care!
You snack looks so festive and Easter-y. Sounds very sweet, too. I'm sure I'd love it.
I'm with you about the time for seniors. I'm not even out of bed many mornings at that hour. I'll just go when I can.
@jerome - oh, my goodness, look who showed up! it's so good of you to visit, jerome. are you in isolation mode over there, too? i'd ask you to come over but, yes, planes are grounded and our borders are closed to non-canadians. how are you doing, otherwise?
This is such a tease! naughty you to post something so delicious looking when you know I am on a diet!
I make these as a Christmas treat every year but might have to make them for everyday occasions now!
Thank you for your nice lines! It is good to read about you and to feel your being. It is something permanent in a world that has changed so much.
A difficult time is behind me. Now I'm doing well according to the circumstances.
Corona - the situation in Europe is very serious. Italy is worst affected. There are now almost 800 corona deaths per day. Overall, there are already more deaths than in China.
The situation in Austria is not that dramatic, but it is very serious. Many communities are quarantined. Schools, universities, hotels and restaurants are closed. Only systemically relevant shops such as grocery stores and pharmacies are open. The borders are closed. The economy was brought to a minimum. The supermarkets may only be entered with a protective mask. Security guards at the entrance make sure that only so many people enter the store who can keep a safe distance. Important: no shaking hands, no hugging, regular hand washing (with soap); safety distance at least 1 meter, better 2. The house may only be left for urgent errands (buying food, medication) or if someone needs help. Walk outdoors only alone or with people you live with. The police control these measures (sentence: up to 5626 CAD). Experts' opinion: The crisis has not yet reached its peak.
I hope your country's government recognizes the seriousness of the situation and is taking all the necessary steps. These are drastic, but there is no alternative. In this case, loss of time means loss of life. I hope you take all security measures to heart.
What is the situation like in your home country? How are you?
I spend a lot of time in the garden when the weather is good. I have neglected it a lot in recent years. There are many tasks for repairs, also for the cultivation of fruit trees and plants. In the meantime I can look forward to blooming in the garden again. The crocuses have faded. Now it is the turn of the spring squills, the daffodils and the tulips. The trees are blooming too. The workshop must also be organized. I also take the time to read and think.
In the meantime, I am increasingly living in the here and now.
@Jerome ! It's so nice to see you here! And so nice to hear your difficult time has passed, and that you are staying safely at home now. Take care -- and I'm going to see if you have begun posting again.
Your sweets are so enticingly presented! (I was going to write that when I noticed Jerome's post! sorry for using your space to correspond with him . . .)
@summerfield -- Today is Day 19 of Isolation. Doing well in terms of staying healthy, yes. But these days, the news impacts all of our emotional and psychological well-being, right? Stay well. . . . until our next visit!
