Great recipe. I was a little concerned about how the marshmellows would work, but they blended in well and they added a different kind of texture when you are enjoying the dessert.

P.S. This blueberry topping can also be doubled as a delicious pie filling during the plentiful blueberry season. During winter, frozen blueberries work really well whatever variation of this recipe you choose!

This excellent recipe gets rave reviews wherever it goes. I have also successfully layered it as a trifle, doubling the blueberry and marshmallow layers & doubling the butter in the crust (to assist with firming up the "crust" layer in the fridge). Whichever way it's made, this "stumble-upon" recipe has become an all-time friend & family favorite.

I tried this last night and made a few modifications. I used a ready made graham cracker pie crust and blackberries instead of the blueberries. It was delicious. My son isn't a fan of desserts but he had 2 pieces. It's something that I'll definitely make again.

OH MY! I love this dessert. I am keeping the recipe in the front of my recipe box. I can not get enough of it. I used frozen blueberries and added all of them to the pan at the start of cooking. PERFECTO!

Very good and no it doesn't look like blackberries in the picture.

Wonderful recipe! any reason why I can't use frozen blueberries?

instead of mini marshmallow why not use marshmallow fluff. I used the fluff in another recipe and it worked

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but the recipe for Blueberry Squares appears to be made with blackberries in the photo. I'll bet that would be good, too!
