This was very good. Made exactly as stated. Flavors went well together.

As much as I like marshmallow cream, I usually shy away from the mini-mallows, though I did use them in this recipe & they worked out very nicely! Loved the saltiness of the peanuts in these & will make them again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
