Recipe Tips

Be sure to use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Older marshmallows can become tough and stringy when melted. Also, keep a close eye on the marshmallows as they melt, as they can easily burn if left unattended. Finally, don't skimp on the butter - it helps to keep the treats soft and chewy. Enjoy!
