Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! Prepare the treats as instructed and let them cool completely. Once set, you can store them in an airtight container for up to a week. If you’re planning to enjoy them later than that, follow the freezing instructions mentioned above.

Substitutions & Variations:

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Swap for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
Peanut Butter Lovers: Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the melted marshmallow mixture for a nutty twist.
Nutty Crunch: Add 1 cup of chopped nuts (like peanuts or almonds) to the mixture for an extra crunch.

Helpful Cooking Notes:

Low Heat for Melting: Always melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat. High heat can cause the marshmallows to burn and make the mixture tough.
Quick Mixing: Once you remove the pot from the heat, mix in the dry ingredients quickly. The marshmallow mixture can set fast, making it harder to combine everything evenly.
Grease Everything: Grease your spatula or use wax paper when pressing the mixture into the pan. This will prevent sticking and help you spread the mixture evenly.
