Am i doing something wrong?? My marshmallows and butter are super runny so i keep adding marshmallows! Help!! 🙂
Maggie says
Nope, you aren’t doing anything wrong! The marshmallow/butter will be runny, just add in the cornflakes until they are nicely coated! Once the little pumpkins cool they will firm up like a rice krispie treat!

I have mini marshmallows on hand instead of large. How many mini ones do you think it would be? Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try these. jenni4stewart@gmail.com
