Timesaving Tips

These are best enjoyed soon after they are made. To save time in preparation, I recommend measuring the ingredients the day before and just mix together per directions. I find this really helps when I want to prepare as much as possible.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time.

Yes, you can make these the day before you plan to serve them, but they are best enjoyed on the same day.

Can I melt the marshmallows in the microwave?

Yes absolutely. Place marshmallows in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl (with the melted butter) and heat at 50% power in 15 second intervals, stirring between cycles until marshmallows are completely melted.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
