These were amazing! I did not use marshmallows because my cookie monsters don’t like them . Instead, I dusted them with powdered sugar on top. They only lasted 2 days in my house! I will def have to double the recipe next time for my piggies.

My 4yo insisted we buy marshmallows yesterday and I remembered you had this recipe. She had a blast helping. My first thought when trying them was, “Hey, these are pretty good!” They are weirdly addicting though. For not being a knock-your-socks-off-in-the-first-bite, I couldn’t stop eating them!
