8 ounces or 32 large marshmallows is the conversion. Hope that helps Sherry! Enjoy!
If doubling the recipe and I only have large marshmallows, how many oz. of marshmallows do I need?
Beth, yes you can do it that way. I’ve done it both ways. Enjoy!
Could you do te chocolate drizzle, butter finer sprinkle then additional chocolate all before you cut the squares? Seems like it would be easier it there could be issues that aren’t coming to mind. Thanks!
No but you can and it should be fine to do that Donna! These are super yummy! Clark bars are awesome too! I hope you enjoy them and thank you for commenting!!
This sounds divine! Butterfinger and Clark Bars were my favorite candy bars growing up! ? My question to you Chocola Tess is have you ever doubled the batch to a 13×9in. baking dish? And if so, did it all come together as well as the single/smaller batch?
Thank you for your time! ?
P.S. My email is in lower case letters. For some reason it won’t let me adjust the case.
Carissa, it’s Step #10. Hope that helps and enjoy!! They are soo good!
I am interested in making this. However, looking at the recipe I came up with a question. Where exactly does the 1 teaspoon shortening come in? I don’t see it mentioned anywhere in the steps.
