FAQs
Can I use larger marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, but you will need to use about 8-10 larger marshmallows. Just make sure they melt completely for a smooth mixture.
Can I make these treats vegan?
Yes! You can use vegan marshmallows and plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
What if I don’t have turbinado sugar?
You can use regular granulated sugar as a substitute. Turbinado sugar adds a nice texture, but regular sugar will work fine.
