Notes

• For extra-soft treats, use mini marshmallows.
• To prevent sticking, grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 3-4 days.
• For colorful treats, add food coloring to the melted marshmallows.
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan while pressing the mixture into the pan to ensure even coverage.
