Tips for Perfect Keto Peanut Butter Cup Squares
- A Perfectly Square Pan: Use an 8x8 pan with straight corners for uniform squares. We love this pan by USA Pan Store. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes it easy to remove the Squares from the pan to cut and makes clean up simple.
- Even Melting: To ensure your marshmallow mixture melts smoothly without burning, always microwave in 30-second intervals and stir well in between each interval. Microwave Safe Bowls with slip resistant bottoms make no-bake baking easy. I use these bowls every time I bake. I love that they stay put on the counter while I stir.
- Firm Pressing: Press the cereal mixture firmly into the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a solid base that holds together well.
- Layer Evenly: Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the base layer for a uniform appearance and taste. Use an angled spatula for easy spreading.
- Placement of Peanut Butter Cups: Ensure the Reese’s peanut butter cups are evenly spaced to make cutting the squares easier and each piece more visually appealing.
- Cool Properly: Allow sufficient time for the bars to set before cutting to achieve clean, even squares.
- Cutting Tips: Use a sharp knife sprayed lightly with cooking spray or warmed under hot water (then dried) to make clean cuts.
- Storage: Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
