Mini Marshmallows Used

Why Mini Marshmallows Work
Mini marshmallows melt quickly and evenly coating cereal in a sugary veil without disrupting texture.
Two-Phase Marshmallow Technique
The recipe adds marshmallows in two phases: fully melted first, then a second batch stirred in for tiny gooey pockets.
Why Large Marshmallows Fail
Large marshmallows create inconsistent melting and boulders of marshmallow that disrupt the chewy texture.
Recipe Impact
This technique ensures Rice Krispies Treats stay soft chewy without messy marshmallow chunks.
