FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy?

Yes, but natural peanut butter may make the dough a bit less smooth. Stir well before measuring, and expect a slightly different texture.

What can I substitute for marshmallow fluff?

If you don’t have marshmallow fluff, melted marshmallows or mini marshmallows can work as a substitute, though the texture may vary slightly.
