Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To intensify the chocolate flavor, try substituting semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips. Gently folding the ingredients preserves the chewy texture, and pressing the marshmallows immediately ensures they meld perfectly without sinking. For even browner marshmallows, watch carefully while broiling to avoid burning.
