Notes
Marshmallows: I used Stuffed Puffs milk chocolate-filled marshmallows to create the chocolate-filled look. They don’t contain gluten ingredients but are made on shared equipment and are not certified gluten-free. Make sure to use certified gluten free marshmallows if needed.
Sugar Free/Keto Option: Use a powdered erythritol-based sweetener in the the dough. There are a few companies that make sugar-free or keto friendly marshmallows. Another sugar free alternative is to use a spoonful of whipped heavy cream in place of a marshmallow.
Sweetener: Powdered sweetener blends best for smooth texture.
