Jeanne says
How many does this make? Oh, for anyone looking at palm, they keep the marshmallow bits in the hot chocolate area, not by the marshmallow section!
Heidi says
Hi Jeanne ~ this recipe makes approx. 3 dozen give or take a few, just depending on the size of cookies. Hope that helps!
Gina Gentry says
Hi! I can’t wait to try these! Do these need to be baked after the hour in the refrigerator or can they be kept in the refrigerator for longer (like overnight) before baking them?
April B says
I’m so bummed I cannot find the hot chocolate m&m’s anywhere. I’m going to try dark chocolate and milk chocolate m&m’s instead.
Heidi says
Oh I’m so sorry to hear you couldn’t find them. I’m sure those will taste yummy, too! 🙂
Candace says
Would regular mini marshmallows work almost as well? I understand they would melt a little, but I was hoping to make these with ingredients I had on hand.
Heidi says
Hi Candace ~ I haven’t tried with the soft mini marshmallows, but if you do… let us know how they turn out!
Candace says
Well, I can say DO NOT try these with mini marshmallows! LOL. The cookie itself was good, chewy and chocolaty, even if the dough was a little oily to work with. But the mini marshmallows completely melted, leaving big craters in the cookies, and trails of caramelized crunchiness all over the tray. Thank goodness for parchment paper, right? My son loved the flavor, so for the rest of the dough I scooped it into paper lined mini muffin tins and baked them that way. The marshmallows were contained, so all the gooey goodness stayed where it should, and looked more appealing that way.
Heidi says
Haha… thanks for the feedback on your experiment, Candace! 🙂 Okay… so add some of the mallow bits to your grocery list ~ I promise you they’re SO yummy, and because they’re teeny tiny and a little crunchy, you’ll be without the gooey mess. Merry Christmas!!
