Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows. Just cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even distribution in the mixture. This will help maintain the overall texture of the Krispie drops while still providing that delicious marshmallow flavor.
What can I substitute for white chocolate bark?
If you prefer, you can substitute white chocolate chips for the white chocolate bark. Just keep in mind that chips may require a little more stirring to melt smoothly. Alternatively, you can use a dairy-free chocolate option for a vegan twist.
How do I make these gluten-free?
To make these Krispie drops gluten-free, ensure that the Rice Krispies you use are labeled as gluten-free. Many brands offer gluten-free options. Additionally, you can double-check the labels on the peanut butter and other ingredients to ensure they do not contain gluten.
