Recipe View Let stand for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar and consider adding a tablespoon of molasses to the sauce.
To prevent the marshmallows from burning, keep a close eye on them during the final baking stage. If they start to brown too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil.
Feel free to add chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
