Marshmallow Charms can be enjoyed straight from the bag as a sweet snack. They melt beautifully when heated, making them ideal for stirring into hot beverages like cocoa or coffee to add a creamy sweetness. When melted and combined with butter and puffed rice cereal, they form the base for classic crispy treats. They can also be toasted over a campfire or under a broiler for a slightly browned, gooey center. For decorative purposes, they can be pressed into cookies or used to create fun shapes on cakes and cupcakes.
