Aunt Sharon's Butter Tart Squares

Gooey little squares of goodness .... that's what you will have after you whip up a batch of these crowd pleasers.  Aunt Sharon seemed to be able to pull these lovelies out of thin air and they disappeared in the bat of an eye if you weren't quick to scoop one up.  While many people have had butter tart squares, Aunt Sharon had a variation that was all her own .... she added raspberry jam to the recipe one time and the rest is history.  You can make these squares the traditional way but why wouldn't you add that extra little kick of raspberry**?

Ingredients - Base
1/2 cup of soft butter
1 cup of flour
2 tbsp white sugar
Kraft Raspberry Jam

Mix and press into a greased 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the base turns a light golden brown.

**Once cooled spread enough raspberry jam to cover the base and set aside.  I suppose any raspberry jam will do but Kraft is best and it's what Aunt Sharon used**

Ingredients - Topping
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
3 tbsp of flour
1 tsp vanilla

Mix ingredients together and pour over the base
Bake at 350 for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly.  Let cool and enjoy!!!

Chocolate Confetti Squares ... aka Rocky Road

These little bits of heaven remind me of Christmas baking, every year my mom had select recipes that were a must during the holiday season.  I love this version of them because it is a combination of all things delicious .... Chocolate,Butterscotch and Peanut Butter!!! I have been to showers and bake sales where I instantly spot the little marshmallow dotted squares and scoop one up only to find it is just Chocolate, of course I still eat it but it's just not the same as Mom's!  When I was pregnant with my son I may have indulged in this favorite a little too much during the holiday season, I wouldn't be surprised if Zac was sick of them before he even tried one lol! 
Bet you can't eat just one!!!

Ingredients
1small package of Chocolate Chip (270 gr) ... of course my choice is milk chocolate
1 small package of Butterscotch Chips (270 gr)
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 package of small marshmallows

Melt Chocolate Chips, Butterscotch Chips and Peanut Butter in a large pot and let cool for a few minutes.
Add in the package of marshmallows folding to ensure that they are all covered with the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour into a lightly greased pan and refrigerate.  You can use a 9x13 or 8x8 pan, it will just change the depth of your finished square.
