Notes

  • If you don't have gravy flour, you can use regular flour in a pinch.
  • The full size marshmallows taste best in this recipe - they're the right size when you cut them in half and make the perfect texture. Small marshmallows work if you need to use them, but they aren't ideal.
  • This tastes great as is, but feel free to dress it up more with your favorite flavors - shredded coconut, mandarin slices, or even chopped nuts.
