Serving Suggestions
These Magic Marshmallow Puffs are best served warm, dusted with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh fruit, such as strawberries or blueberries, for a refreshing contrast. For a delightful dessert spread, consider serving them alongside Raspberry Almond Bars.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warm and slightly crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this may cause them to become chewy.
