    Jelly Squares

    I’ve also seen this Jelly Squares recipe referred to as Marshmallow Fingers, which makes sense, as the topping is pretty much just a simplified marshmallow recipe. Shortbread base, marshmallowy topping and desiccated coconut. Really simple, squishy, sticky and delicious. Now,…
