A different take on this recipe is that you use peanut butter chips (same amount) and the shortening (same amount and same method) Cut large marshmallows in half and dip into the peanut butter chip shortening mix. To cover up my finger prints off the top of the marshmellow as I get it off the fork or toothpic is I take a half of pecan and press on the top These will get a hard outside coating if left at room temp, which is what you want... they look nice and taste good.
