PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW SQUARES

This has long been a favorite for our family's festive gatherings.  The simplest of recipes to make and the most asked for in our household.  Enjoy!

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup of smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1 package of butterscotch chipits
Melt these three ingredients over low heat.  Set to the side to cool.

Add one package of colored or white mini marshmallows.  Usually if I have two packages of marshmallows on hand I will add a bit of the second package just so that there is not as much "goo" on the bottom of the cut pieces.  Some people like a lot of "goo", others not so much .... depends on your sweetness taste buds.

Pour the mixture into an 8"x8" pan sprayed lightly with Pam.  Set in the fridge or freezer for an hour or so and then cut into small, or big, squares.  Eat, refrigerate or freeze - anything goes with these!  Yummy!

'til next time

Welcome!

December 2019 has become a season of new beginnings for me after a year of a few sad endings.

In 2019 our family has had to say goodbye to two very important people in our lives and the festive season is definitely bittersweet this year.  A new normal is sought by us all.

Another ending, which brought about this new beginning for me, is my career in the workforce.  As I write this I am on vacation from work until December 31st and then moving on to chase my life-long dream of playing with fabric, designing patterns and working with the most amazing people I know - Quilters!

December 1st was the launch of the new website and a new career.  Thank you to all of the wonderful good wishes and all the interest in visiting www.QuiltBitz.ca.  Everyone has been so welcoming!

With the New Year barrelling down on us many plans and ideas are taking shape for 2020.  Of course some of you will have noticed the many Pre-Order collections that will be trickling into the studio over the coming months.  Many new patterns will also be added and bundles of fabric in different shapes and sizes will also be posted on the website.

Quilt-alongs and programs are being researched and it is hoped that those will be coming sooner than later, so keep an eye out for those.

If you haven't signed up for the newsletter on the website yet, please do - that way you will find out all the happenings!  Of course you can also follow this blog (see sidebar to sign up) to receive updates through the blog posts and also see more of the behind the scenes goings on here at the QuiltBitz Studio.

I am so excited to start on this new beginning and look forward to you sharing the journey with me.  I appreciate and treasure every comment and email from you and encourage you to reach out whenever you can.  The sharing of our love of fabric, quilting and friendships keeps us all moving forward.

And, so it begins ......

Wishing everyone a Happy Festive Season!

'til next time
