Full guide →FAQ
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?
Yes, crunchy peanut butter works well and adds extra texture. Warm it slightly for easier spreading across the dough surface.
What if my marshmallows brown too quickly?
Cover loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning while ensuring the crust cooks through completely.
How long will leftovers keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 300F oven for 5-8 minutes to restore the crispy crust and soften marshmallows.
