I don't usually like marshmallow squares, but these are excellent!! My husband ate these up in 2 days. I did however leave out the nuts & coconut. Will definately make again.

Flavour is perfect. I recommend letting the melted mixture cool before you add the marshmallows amd nuts. That way you get a more uniform consistency and the marhmallows don't rise to the top.

Asked the Hubby what he would give it, he said a four or a five. I can't taste it as am allergic to coconut, however, I make something very similar to these called confetti squares (without coconut). It was very easy to make, and I didn't put the walnuts in it. Will make again.

This is a very sweet bar that is not for the faint of heart! They are VERY rich, but delicious. I took them to a party and they were a hit! I omitted the nuts because I didn't have any on hand...but I'm glad I did, b/c I'm not sure walnuts would have made them any better, although it may have negated some of the sweetness.

I find the nuts "out of character" for this square. This is similar to the one I make. 1/4 cup butter melted in saucepan with 1/2 cup peanut butter. Stir in 1 cup butterscotch chips until melted. When cool enough so marshmallows don't melt, mix in 1 small bag of coloured marshmallows (227 gr.). Turn into greased 9"x9" pan. Cool and cut into 1" bars. Always the first thing to go at our bake sales! HINT: Sprinkle coloured marshmallows around bars when serving.

Such a yummy treat - not the healthiest however. Instead of butter, I used natural unsweetened peanut butter and it worked really well.

It was an alright kinda thing. Very sweet, almost too much for me and I'm a total sweet tooth!! Next time I make this I might add a little salt, 1/2 tsp. maybe?? If you are like me and like your bars full of ingredients, add more coconut and maybe marshmallows. Otherwise it's too much creaminess! It's almost like having brownies with no extras. I did the same as the others and poured the mix on top of the marshmallows and mixed it up.

I hate to be the first to give bad reviews but I really have to on this one! I made the recipe as is and it's just terrible. I guess I'm an old fashioned cook but I like my flavors to compliment eachother and this "snack" was the exact opposite from what I desire. My husband put it perfectly when he said that you could take a spoonful of each ingredient, eat them simultaneously and that would be your outcome. I thought it was disgustingly sweet and I honestly had to brush my teeth after eating them! I do not recommend this one, sorry.

The overall taste was good. I personally thought there were too many flavours in an old favourite of mine. I think I will leave out the walnuts when I make it again.

I have made these for many years and they disappear off the plate almost instantly. heaven!! the only thing I do differently is no nuts or coconut. mmmm!

My entire family loved this recipe! I added 1/2 cup more coconut and used pecans instead of walnuts. I took the advice of another reviewer and spooned the mix over the marshmallows and mixed slightly. I used an entire bag of mini marshmallows, which was a bit too much. I also drizzled approx 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips over the top. Very tasty! Next time, I am going to try increasing the peanut butter, using peanuts instead of pecans/walnuts, decreasing the marshmallows and tossing in a few cups of Cheerios cereal. Thanks for an excellent recipe!
