Notes
For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate on top.
Experiment with flavored marshmallows like strawberry or chocolate for variety.
Mix in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
If you want firmer treats, press the mixture into the pan more firmly or reduce the butter slightly.
