Blue Ribbon Recipe by

A family "staple" at every gathering. My mother's famous (or infamous?) marshmallow peanut butter squares. None of us ever knew the true recipe name, hence the generic "pink slice". Forty-five years of family get-togethers and still going strong!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet... both in appearance and taste! Double the icing for even more special sweetness.
