The treats were a little difficult to cut into individual pieces without them falling apart. They are also a little sticky, but overall they were still a good treat.

I've been using this recipe for marshmallow treats for a few years now and they are always a hit. I love that I can easily make them gluten-free by using gluten-free marshmallows and rice crispy treats.

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit with both the kids and the adults. I've been asked to make them again several times!

Great recipe, they are so soft and pillowy! I did find it a little difficult to cut them into the individual pieces without it getting too sticky.

The marshmallows were a bit too sticky for my preference. Next time I might try adding a little less corn syrup.

My go to recipe when I'm craving something sweet and easy to make. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the fridge until I need it.

These little treats are just the right amount of sweetness and melt in your mouth. We loved trying out fun new ways to dip and sprinkle them, and we can't wait to see what this recipe can inspire next!
