FAQs
Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?
Yes, chop chocolate bars into small pieces and melt them the same way. Chocolate chips often contain stabilizers that help them keep their shape, but chopped bars work fine for this recipe.
Do I have to use mini marshmallows?
No, you can substitute with regular-sized marshmallows cut into smaller pieces or omit them if you prefer. They add a soft texture that contrasts nicely with the crunch of the candies.
