Recipe Tips
- Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the marshmallow mixture as it melts. Avoid using a whisk or mixer, as this can cause the mixture to become sticky and hard to work with.
- When pressing the mixture into the baking dish, use the back of a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to help you get an even layer.
- For easier cutting, use a sharp knife that has been coated with cooking spray or butter. This will help prevent the treats from sticking to the knife.
