📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spread the marshmallow fluff into an even layer on a plate. Use a kitchen torch to carefully toast the fluff until it is golden brown. Stir the marshmallow fluff, spread it into an even layer, and then toast the fluff again. Repeat this process several times until you notice lots of "toasty bits" throughout the fluff. Set aside to cool.
