Instructions

Tips & Variations

- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers over the marshmallow before toasting.
- Use dark or white chocolate sauce for different flavor contrasts.
Storage

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?
It’s best to use fresh strawberries as frozen ones release extra moisture, which can affect the marshmallow coating and toasting process.
What can I use if I don’t have marshmallow fluff?
You can substitute with melted marshmallows or homemade marshmallow cream; just be sure to soften them before dipping the strawberries.
