Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can substitute the nuts with seeds if you're looking for a nut-free option. If you prefer a chewier texture, gently fold in the marshmallows just before shaping the rolls. Make sure to use a generous amount of confectioners' sugar to prevent sticking.
