Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Be careful not to burn the butter, as soon as it starts to turn brown, add the marshmallows and reduce heat.
- Avoid old marshmallows, they will not melt as well.
- You can use marshmallow fluff but the texture will be different.
- Regular or mini marshmallows work well
- Freeze between a layer of parchment paper so they don't stick together.
