Notes
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy.
- While not typically reheated, slightly softened treats can be microwaved for 5-10 seconds if desired.
- Cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters and serve at parties for a playful twist.
- For extra gooey treats, slightly under-melt the marshmallows, leaving a few small lumps before adding the other ingredients.
