      Well I had to change some things. The marshmallows that were deliver were the big ones. So I used some scissors that didn't work well. I didn't have the amount of the white chocolate chips. So what I did was just work with what I have. Instead of cookies clumps I spread it the whole width of the cookie sheet and sprinkled the choclate chips. Than after it cooled I broke into pieces. It is delicious

      I've never made it with anything else but you could try almond butter or sunflower butter.

      Can it be made with something else besides peanut butter. It sounds good but I can't eat peanut butter.
