Product Information

Peanut Butter (Creamy or Crunchy) – for this recipe my grandmother used to always use creamy peanut butter. Whether you are using natural peanut butter, unsalted peanut butter, crunchy peanut butter, organic peanut butter or good old fashioned jif peanut butter. In modern times the Wiphala has been confused with a seven-striped rainbow flag which is wrongly associated with the Tawantinsuyu (Incan Empire). There is debate as to whether there was an Inca or Tawantisuyu flag. Spread cooked filling over baked and cooled shortbread base. Top with meringue, ensuring meringue completely covers the filling, right to the pan edges. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or just until meringue is a light golden brown.

Rainbow Square is a delightful treat any time and also makes a wonderful dessert for afternoon tea. I always remember my grandmother making confetti squares. They’re simple to make, extremely sugary, and have a chewy, gooey texture that reminds me of childhood. They’re one of those desserts that you’re almost embarrassed to make because they’re so sugary – but they’re still one of my all-time favorite treats.

There are 16th and 17th-century chronicles and references that support the idea of a banner attributable to the Inca. However, it represented the Incan people, not the empire. Also its origins are from symbols and mural designs found in several civilizations of the Andes with thousands of years of history. During the 2019 Bolivian political conflicts, videos emerged of Bolivian police cutting the wiphala off of their uniforms. It was also removed from some government buildings and burned by protesters, who chanted "Bolivia belongs to Christ!" [13] [14] This was later condemned by the acting president, Jeanine Áñez as a destruction of indigenous heritage. [15] Confusion with flag of Cusco [ edit ] Current flag of the city of Cusco There are three parts to the square: The shortbread base, the filling, and the meringue topping. The shortbread base is made first and allowed to cool completely before the hot filling is added. Baking the buttery-rich shortbread crust first gives the square a stable foundation and prevents the hot filling from seeping into the base making it soggy. The shortbread base is meant to have a crisp texture in just the same way as does a shortbread cookie.

These No Bake Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares are from my repertoire of my Grandma Yvette’s recipes, she was the baking and cooking queen! Having treats ready for company at any time was really common in my grandma’s house. In modern Ecuador, the Wiphala is identified with the Indigenous social movement mainly represented by CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador). This organization has had an important role in massive protests in the late 1990s and 2000s. The flag of CONAIE is a wiphala with a mask in the middle from a pre-Inca Ecuadorian coastal peoples known as La Tolita. However, you can easily customize your blanket by changing the size of each granny square or by varying the number of squares. GAUGE I like using crunchy peanut butter for this recipe because it gives the bars a nice crunch. Also ensure to use a tasty peanut butter, preferably a salted one for this recipe!

I have no idea the origin of Rainbow Square but I do believe it may pre-date the 1960s. This recipe is based on, and adapted from, one my mother used to make as a treat every summer. No clue as to why it was a summertime treat in our household but that is the only time of the year I ever recall having this square and it was always considered to be a special treat!

The flavor is similar to scotcheroos (hence why they’re sometimes called peanut butter marshmallow squares or butterscotch marshmallow squares), but they’re soft and chewy instead of crunchy. Then the marshmallows make them even sweeter. The Wiphala has been confused with the seven-striped rainbow design flag, the current official banner of the Peruvian city of Cusco, where it is commonly displayed in government buildings and in the main square. [16] This rainbow flag is sometimes displayed as a symbol of the Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyu), although Peruvian historiographers and the Peruvian Congress have stated that the empire never had a flag. [17] [18] While the wiphala is an emblem related principally to the Aymara people, the Inca had their origins with the Quechua people. The 2009 Constitution of Bolivia (Article 6, section II) established the southern Qullasuyu Wiphala as the dual flag of Bolivia, along with the red-yellow-green tricolor.

Stir frequently until the mixture is completely melted. Butterscotch Chips – I typically use the Chipits butterscotch chips. There are lower sugar options like Lilys butterscotch candies, and I’m sure you could also find vegan butterscotch chips as well! Some individuals who have tested out this recipe have also substituted some of the butterscotch chips for regular chocolate chips to cut down the sweetness.La Bandera del Tahuantisuyo" (PDF) (in Spanish).
