# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Ready in under 15 minutes of active cooking time
- No candy thermometer needed, anyone can make this successfully
02 -
- Keep the heat low and be patient, high heat will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy
- Letting the chocolate cool slightly before adding marshmallows prevents them from disappearing into the base
03 -
- Roughly chop the nuts rather than leaving them whole for better distribution in each bite
- Spray your spatula with cooking spray to prevent the sticky mixture from clinging while smoothing
