Can I make these without pink candy melts?

Yes! Melt white chocolate and tint it with pink oil-based food coloring.

Why did my treats turn hard?

Overcooking the marshmallows or pressing too firmly into the pan can cause them to harden.

Use vegan marshmallows and plant-based butter, they hold shape perfectly.

Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to loosen and smooth the texture.
