The first step to making Loaded Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares was to dump some margarine and peanut butter into a sauce pan over med/low heat.

Once the margarine and peanut butter had melted together I stirred in some butterscotch chips.

When the butterscotch chips had melted into the liquid in the pot I removed the sauce pan from the heat.  

I allowed the mixture to cool until I could touch the bottom of the pan.

When I was able to lay my hand flat under the pan and only feel a bit of warmth, I dumped in some mixed fruit and gluten free crisp rice cereal.

After stirring the fruit and cereal in well I dumped in some coloured mini marshmallows.

I saved some mini chocolate chips for the last addition so that they would not all melt away but some would remain solid.

Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

Then scrape the mixture into a wax paper lined 9" x 13" baking pan.

Spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula.  Place in the fridge to set for about 2 hours.

Once it has been chilled you can use the wax paper to remove Loaded Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares from the baking pan.

Use a sharp knife to slice into squares.  The size will depend on your occasion and whether it is a stand alone dessert or being added to a dessert tray.

These squares make a colourful and eye catching addition to any dessert tray.

Young and old alike will quickly devour these delicious treats!
