Today, I am sharing a sweet treat with you. In fact, it’s so sweet, it’s almost more like candy than it is a square. This No-Bake Marshmallow Square is one of the easiest squares to make and it requires few ingredients and no cooking or baking.
This square is perfect for picnics and is a colorful and tasty addition to any sweet tray. It’s the perfect anytime treat.
While it is not necessary to line the pan with tin foil or parchment paper, I like to do so for a couple of reasons. First, it protects my pan and, second, it makes it easier to cut the squares. I find, if I don’t line my baking pans, when I go to cut the squares, the knife scratches the pan surface and ruins it. By lining the pan with tin foil or parchment paper, it is easy to lift the square out of the pan, peel back the tin foil/parchment paper and easily cut straight squares. If using tin foil, I recommend very lightly buttering the sides of the foil-lined pan which helps the tin foil to peel off easier.
Any kind of shredded coconut can be used in this square; however, the shredded rainbow coconut adds additional color. Very finely ground graham wafer crumbs can be lightly sprinkled on top of square if desired along with a sprinkling of extra coconut.
