You can substitute 1 3/4 cups of mini marshmallows if you can’t find marshmallow creme. I recommend heating them as you do the chips to incorporate.
If using a spoon to flatten, grease the bottom to keep from sticking.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
