📝 Preparation Steps
1
Butter a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) over medium heat, add butter and cook until melted, about ⏱️ 3 minutes.

2
Continue cooking butter, stirring constantly, until the milk solids turn golden and the butter darkens slightly, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes longer. Do not walk away as you want the butter to brown, not burn and turn black.

Reduce heat to medium low and add marshmallows to the pot. Stir until the marshmallows have melted into the butter completely and the mixture is smooth, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes (aim for a gentle melting and softening process).
