# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Thoroughly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter to ensure easy removal of the treats.
02 -
Over low heat, melt unsalted butter in a large pot, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
03 -
Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously with a silicone spatula until fully melted and smooth, avoiding scorching.

# Additional Suggestions:

Work quickly once marshmallows are melted to prevent setting in the pot.

Lightly grease utensils and hands to handle sticky mixture effectively.
03 -
