Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?

Oh, you totally can - but fair warning, they're trickier to work with! The mini ones tend to disappear into the batter if you're not careful. If you go this route, freeze them for 15 minutes first (helps prevent melting), and use a toothpick to dip them. You'll also need to reduce frying time to about 15-20 seconds. They make adorable bite-sized party treats though!

What if I don't have pancake mix?

No pancake mix? No problem! My quick fix is mixing 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. The texture will be slightly different - more like a funnel cake batter - but still delicious. Some folks swear by tempura batter too if you're feeling fancy!

How do I prevent the marshmallows from bursting?

Ah, the great marshmallow explosion mystery! Here's my foolproof method: make sure your oil is at exactly 350°F (use that thermometer!), and don't overcrowd the pot. The temperature drop causes more bursting. Also, resist the urge to poke them while frying - that crispy shell needs to form undisturbed. If one does burst? Consider it the cook's treat to eat immediately!
