Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?
This is a great recipe because of the marshmallow fluff in the center. Even though I don’t recommend using mini marshmallows or any other size for that matter because you wouldn’t get the same melty effect with those. You gooey cookie bars would have more of a chewy vibe because of the set marshmallows but they would still be delicious nonetheless.

Made these for a gathering and they were a huge hit! Very rich so a small piece was plenty for each person, and I’ll definitely be making them again.

Oh my god! These were sooooo good! And super easy to make. Mine didn’t take 5 bars and I made the mistake of not buy enough fluff (I was missing half a cup) but it turned out amazing.
