Cooks Notes

Microwave cooking times can vary widely, heat only enough to melt the chocolate marshmallow coating.

If mixture becomes hard to spoon, place back in microwave for about 20 seconds to soften.

Using a baking tray with a rim will help keep the holiday sprinkles from rolling all over.

Spray the spoon you use for dropping with non-stick spray.
