LEMON COCONUT PARTY SQUARES
I love these no bake Lemon Coconut Squares, as I love anything with lemon in it. They are really popular in Australia and you often get them at morning and afternoon teas.

PINK PARTY SQUARES
This recipe was given to my Mother in law and it is one of those special always-at-the-holidays sweets. They are very sweet, so cutting them in very small squares is usually how we do it. I just guessed at the servings because it really depends on how you cut it.

Steps:
- Melt butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish.
- Add the mini-mallows and microwave until smooth, stirring frequently.
- In a separate, large mixing bowl, combine the M&M's, Chex, and pretzels.
- Pour the mallow mixture over the Chex mixture, and stir to coat (will be a little messy and gooey!) Pour (or rather, plop) entire works into a 9x13 pan and spread it so it is even.
- I spray the pan with Pam so they're easier to remove later.
- Let cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Tips for Making Perfect Party Squares:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your party squares.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy texture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough texture.
- Spread the batter evenly into the baking pan: This will help to ensure that the party squares bake evenly.
- Bake the party squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly party squares.
- Let the party squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Party squares are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and other special occasions. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make party squares that are both delicious and beautiful. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat to share, give party squares a try.
