The ingredient list doesn’t list marshmallows as an ingredient but the directions tell you to add them in the second step. What amount you are to add?

I don’t see a reply about the marshmallows. I have the same question..Couldn’t you use marshmallow creme? And about the evaporated milk and sugar, why not just use sweetened condensed milk?

I don’t know if you could make the recipe that way, I never made the recipe that way before.

I love mounds and this cake is so close to the candy bar.
