Marshmallow creme can be used in numerous ways in the kitchen. It is often stirred into whipped cream to create a lighter, sweeter topping for pies and cakes. It can also be melted slightly and spread as a filling for cookies or pastries. For a simple treat, it can be mixed with peanut butter to create a classic sandwich spread. It also forms the base for many no-bake dessert recipes, adding sweetness and binding ingredients together.

Its smooth, spreadable consistency allows for easy incorporation into batters and fillings without the need for heating, offering a different textural experience.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store any remaining marshmallow creme in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps maintain its smooth texture and prevents it from drying out. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to keep it fresh for future use.
