Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) mini rainbow marshmallows
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • Assorted rainbow food coloring (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a mixer or whisk, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly to about 1 inch thick.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and edges are golden.
  8. While baking, melt the mini marshmallows with milk in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and slightly runny.
  9. Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into small bowls and tint with food coloring to create rainbow shades (optional).
  10. Remove the bars from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  11. Drizzle the colored marshmallows over the bars in a rainbow pattern using a spoon or piping bag.
  12. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature so the drizzle firms up but remains gooey.
  13. Slice into 2-inch squares and serve.

Notes

Do not overbake the base to keep bars soft and tender. Melt marshmallows in short bursts and stir often to avoid scorching. Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut for controlled drizzle. Let bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Enjoy within 2 days for best freshness. For gluten-free, substitute almond or oat flour. Vegan version can be made with coconut oil, flax egg, and vegan marshmallows.
