Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the fun part! Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once it’s melted, add in the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until they’re completely melted and smooth. The smell of warm marshmallows is just heavenly! After you have that gooey mixture, it’s time to add in the almond extract and a pinch of salt; this will elevate the flavors immensely. I love how the almond scent mingles with the marshmallows to create a sweet aroma in my kitchen. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
