A family "staple" at every gathering. My mother's famous (or infamous?) marshmallow peanut butter squares. None of us ever knew the true recipe name, hence the generic "pink slice". Forty-five years of family get-togethers and still going strong!
Comments from the Test Kitchen:
Sweet... both in appearance and taste! Double the icing for even more special sweetness.
Directions
Melt and cool the 1/2 cup of butter and package of butterscotch chips.Add coconut, peanut butter and marshmallows. Mix well.Press into greased 9x9 pan.Mix powdered sugar and remaining butter. Add milk by teaspoons until desired consistency. Add red coloring to make a nice shade of pink. Spread over squares and chill. Freezes well.

Pam, do you have peanut butter morsels available? I've never tried any other flavor except butterscotch, but I'd think that peanut butter or probably even just milk chocolate would work. It would obviously change the taste somewhat, but I imagine it would still be just as good! Let me know what you try, I'm curious now! :)

Myra we do't have Peanut butter morsels but we do have peanut paste, chocolate bits (come in dark, milk and the white). I was tols that they did try the other bits (morsel) years ago in the larger stores but didn't sell enough. I told them they shoud do a promotion with recipies. They did the same with cool whip back in the early eighties and just put it along with the ice creams. I had a few recipies using it that my auntie gave me that were very nice that I shared with friends and neighbours but they soon quit stocking it. I'm going try your recipe with the white choc bits with the butter.
