- 200 g Mini Marshmallows (about 4 cups)
- 113 g Butter (½ cup)
- Food Coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 113 g of butter and 200 g of mini marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).

Notes
Avoid pressing the mixture too tightly into the pan to maintain softness. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
