Wow! Love those gooey looking things! Do you suppose I could substitute marshmallow fluff with the melted marshmallows in this recipe?
Thanks!
I am thinking that marshmallow fluff or cream would not set up the same way melted marshmallows would. I think they would be too gooey.
Hi Madege,
I don’t see why not. The melted marshmallow become fluff. Thanks for visiting 🙂

I couldn’t find coconut flavoring at the store, so I used what I had, which ended up being 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. They came out FABULOUS!
Wow these look fantastic!! 🙂
My husband isn’t a coconut fan, but I am, so more for me! 🙂 These sound awesome!
These sound great. I’m going to be adding them to my list of things to try.
