Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For a softer texture, use fresh marshmallows and avoid overcooking the mixture.
• Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep the treats light and chewy.
• Serve on a tiered stand for an elegant presentation at the baby shower.
Food Safety:
• Ensure the treats are stored at room temperature to prevent spoilage.
• Consume within 3 days for best quality.
