- 4 oz marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Lay out waxed paper on cookie sheets or countertop.

Notes
Pro oh là là tip: If your mixture sets too fast while dropping onto the waxed paper, warm it slightly over low heat and keep stirring gently. It will soften just enough to scoop again without losing the glossy texture.
