FAQs

1. Can I use another hazelnut spread instead of Nutella?

Yes—any chocolate-hazelnut spread works just as well—Nutella just remains the classic choice.

2. Large or mini marshmallows—does it matter?

Both work fine. Mini marshmallows create a more uniform top; large give big gooey puffs.

3. What dippers are best besides graham crackers?

Try Oreos, cookies, pretzels, fruit like strawberries or banana slices—anything you’d enjoy dipping.

4. Can I bake this in a baking dish instead of a skillet?

Absolutely. Use any oven-safe dish of similar size—just ensure it’s oven-safe.

5. Will the marshmallows burn if I bake too long?

Keep a close eye—it only takes a few minutes. Remove once golden and puffed to avoid burning.

6. Can I add toppings like nuts or sprinkles?

Yes—add them right after baking so they stick to the warm marshmallow.

7. Is this gluten-free?

Yes—provided your dippers (e.g., gluten-free cookies or fruit) are gluten-free.

8. Can I make this ahead of time for a crowd?

You can pre-assemble and refrigerate, but bake right before serving for best texture and warmth.

9. What’s a quick way to portion control?

Use individual oven-safe dishes or mini ramekins for self-serve portions.

10. Any vegan alternatives?

Use dairy-free hazelnut spread and vegan marshmallows to make this vegan-friendly dessert.
