Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Use a smaller pan, like an 8×8-inch pan, for thicker treats, as shown in the photos. For thinner treats, use a larger pan.
- Dampen your hands with water before you push the mixture into a baking dish. This will prevent the marshmallow from sticking to your hands.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container, or individually wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature. Use within 2 days for the best results.
