For a deeper flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have red hot candies, you can substitute with cinnamon imperials or even a cinnamon stick simmered in the sauce during baking (remove before serving). To prevent the marshmallows from burning, you can broil them for the last minute or two instead of baking. This dish can be prepared ahead of time. Assemble everything up to the baking step, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
