Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success
- Milk chocolate chips – any brand will work.
- Marshmallow Fluff – you really need to use this for this recipe to turn out.
- Unsalted butter – make sure to not use salted.
- One item that is more a supply must have when baking is brown parchment paper. I actually like using brown parchment paper better than white. To make it white they bleach it. The brown is unbleached. And you aren’t actually suppose to bake with the white.
