Make It Your Own
Get creative with toppings try peanut butter caramel drizzle or your favorite candy. Sometimes I add fresh berries or crushed nuts. You can skip the marshmallows or swap them for something else.
My Best Tips
The secret's in that soft dough and pre-baking keeps everything perfect. Spread the Nutella while everything's warm it's so much easier. Watch those marshmallows closely they turn golden fast.
Time To Serve
Serve this beauty while it's still warm and gooey. I love adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side or drizzling some salted caramel over top. It's become our favorite way to celebrate everything from birthdays to New Year's Eve.
